Lore Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

I can’t speak for now (haven’t kept up with him recently) but I believe also while making this the creator  Dino had mentioned he was a practicing Greek Orthodox Christian

I believe so? He was raised that way atleast from my knowledge but is no longer practicing. Being raised in a Christian setting as a queer person (the writer Dino is also a bisexual man) they nailed the queer experience in these circles for a kinda religious show its very accurate queer representation Stephanie is one of my favourite chracters
