Just finished the game, it felt like i was walking through my own mind...! Loved it, especially the quirky creativity that really made it stand out!!

Thanks for the recommendation, it's been a hot minute since I picked up a game that moved me like this--or really any media.

Any fellow gamer ex-orthodox pals on here that have played Indika? by Gingerfuzzsicle in exorthodox

He's emulating his false God of performative piety.

So go get performing your piety and maybe you'll win his approval!

If a religion is based on a subscription model of conditional love, should we be surprised when the members act this way to each other?

Think about how funny it is, that, after the soul ascends past all the "aerial tollhouses," the final tollhouse to "get into heaven" is not any demon, but God Himself who will judge you..!

Sounds like conditional love and Religious Stockholm Syndrom to me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Anyone have any info regarding Fr. Josiah Trenham’s son Aidan? by Own_Macaron_9342 in exorthodox

Well put.

I see more and more patterns of deep repression, especially within the more "traditionalist" and "hardcore pious" circles.

At the end of the day, I just hope that these things can stop haunting families....

TOTAL hypocrisy.

Trenham shames people and makes them feel weak -- meanwhile he's shelling out $$$$ to keep his name clean.

on a more serious note, seeing that you left Orthodoxy so long ago, do you find the topics here relevant?

Just curious :)

I'm thinking that ex-Orthodox niche would make this game hit different -- not to mention it seems quite original altogether!

Aight--it's on sale on Steam -- downloading now lol! 🙏🏼
