The Serpent & The Seed is an upcoming adventure game about the Bible featuring poetic imagery and a profound story

Discipleship Tech has dropped an intriguing teaser trailer for The Serpent & The Seed, the UK charity's upcoming adventure game for both iOS and Android devices. The game lets players explore a world that has been overtaken by thistles and thorns, and it's up to the player to discover the forgotten book that lies in the midst of this land ruled by a Serpent.

In The Serpent & The Seed, players can expect to go on a quest to find hope and salvation as they uncover the Seed of Eve. The game takes inspiration from titles such as Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP as well as Monument Valley. It's a journey that helps players find out the reason why the world is as such while unearthing the beauty in the darkness.

According to Project Lead Andy Geers, "The Bible tells us such a profound story about who we are, how we got here and where we’re headed, which gives meaning to everything in between. Games based on the Bible have a reputation for being dry and boring, which is a travesty given that they’re drawing from the greatest story ever told. The Serpent & The Seed strikes a different tone, leaning in to the imagery and poetry of the Bible and allowing players to discover the hope that it has to offer.”

The trailer does indeed look intriguing, and the visuals look lovely. If you're curious, you can check out the embedded teaser above to get a feel of the game for now, or head on over to the official website for more info on The Serpent & The Seed.
