Well this is... interesting. Christian game developer Godlimations has put together a point and click adventure to "serve and participate in the awesomeness of God".

Nothing hugely untoward there (unless, of course, you're Richard Dawkins) but said point and click adventure also serves and participates in the awesomeness of Silent Hill, the long-running console-based survival horror series.

In fairness there's quite a lot of religion in Silent Hill. But getting at it is much like searching for complete sentences in a paper-shredder bin. Everything's mashed into one screaming blur of demonic pentagles, apocalyptic cults, supernatural fog and mislaid inner children.

Not exactly the contents of the average vicarage pamphlet, then. And not the best inspiration for an evangelical Flash game.

If Vorago's preacher credentials are suspect, its production values are not. Backdrops, characters and animations are of the gorgeous, hand-drawn variety, and there's a fantastic range of sound effects.

Not to mention actual, proper voice-acting. Several minutes worth, in fact. Everybody sounds like a bit of a jerk, but it's an impressive achievement nonetheless.

A couple of action sequences aside, gameplay hinges on item or dialogue-driven puzzles. Some of these are rather good - there's a clever sequence involving a VCR player; some are average; some, like the one with the cat, are completely ludicrous. The walkthrough is only a click away.

The plot's so highly strung you could play it like a violin - a violin covered in blood and body parts, anyway. Beware - this game is far from child-friendly.

For suspenseful adventuring without the scriptural subtitles, try Zombies and Morbid.
