Forbidden Psalms for the Wretched
In this supernatural adventure RPG set in an alternate world where small pagan religions are persecuted and their traditions suppressed under Christian rule, players take on roles of prophets seeking to free themselves from the clutches of Hell or seek redemption through reading forbidden texts that bring blessings but also carry curses. The game features tarot cards as a mechanism for choosing actions with different consequences, dungeon crawling elements based around finding hidden treasures guarded by ghosts and traps, puzzle-solving mechanics akin to ancient religious artifacts unlocked in dark crypts, player character customization options such the ability of characters' names being taken from their favorite literature or religion. The game also has an emphasis on roleplaying rather than combat with nonlinear progression through different areas controlled by a GM whose decisions affect gameplay and may lead players towards certain paths within the adventure structure - some even suggest that this is reminiscent to how God guides believers in religious texts, leading them step-by-step toward salvation.
