The Way: The Beloved's Testimony

About the Game

Experience the spiritual sequel to The Greatest Story Ever Told.

THE WAY: The Beloved's Testimony is a strategy visual novel set in first-century Judaea and its neighbors. As Yedid, the beloved witness, carry an unfinished testimony from Jerusalem through fourteen districts. Grow Christianity from a handful of believers to a following that will shake the world.

Leave a household that can stand

A public victory opens a church, but that church must learn to stand when your company leaves. Its names, tables, and patrons matter as much as the strength of an argument.

Spend the day's Works on witnessing, listening, serving, visiting, and taking the road. Choose a company for public contests, read the cost and forecast of a word, and answer manually or let Auto speak. Leave people ready to meet the threats posted against your households.

• Fourteen districts, rival Houses, and autonomous local churches.

• Fifty named people with distinct wants and receptions.

• Turn-based public contests with action forecasts and optional Auto.

Your path is a path of thorns. The world has plans of its own. Saul's searches become sudden raids; Rome turns scattered reports into proscription. A lost Jerusalem sends refugees into neighboring districts. Their new gatherings may become the movement's next beginning.

Keep the account of what follows

Four Damascus alternatives change how the households grow and who can speak for them. Follow the Received Account, Letters in Chains, Council of Houses, or Hidden Tables toward eight ending families.

The money travels too. Assemblies in the nations support Jerusalem's poor, if their carriers reach home. Paul's successful roads do not settle his standing with the people who sent him. Gifts, disputed letters, private wants, and remembered losses return in the final testimony.
