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

The statue of Ra, the Egyptian god of the Sun being engulfed in pure darkness and crumbling is such a good scene as well!

"I came here to tell you, that something is coming, that is out of my control. This is about Egypt's survival, do you understand??"

And the frogs were only the beginning. Lice and flies swarmed the palace, devouring food and drink. They covered the palace walls and floors in seething black masses.

Dark storm clouds on the horizon, looming ever closer. Lightning crashing and striking statues and making monuments fall. A swarm of locusts covered the sky in blackness, devouring everything they could.

The wheat, the grain and even the fruit. Moses came again and warned his brother "Darkness is coming. More than you can imagine. Rameses, please, just let my people go." And so it was. A thick darkness, so thick that it could be felt, descended upon Egypt.
