LOGOS: The Wilderness

How to play

You play as Jesus in a 3D action adventure that follows the Gospels in four chapters: The Wilderness, Legion, Living Water and The Gates. Each chapter mixes story scenes and scripture with exploring, climbing, small puzzles and fights against dark spirits. Follow the current objective to move the story on.

Fight with the Sword of the Word. From Chapter II, when a spirit staggers, you can step close and Rebuke it to drive it out. If you fall, choose Rise again to go back to your last save.

On a computer, walk with W, A, S, D, turn the camera with the mouse, jump with Space and dodge with Shift. Left click attacks, right click is a heavy attack, Q guards, E talks or Rebukes, R prays and I opens the Journal. On a phone, the left thumb walks, the right thumb turns the camera, and buttons on screen do the rest.

Tips and tricks

• Press Guard right as an enemy hits to Parry. The enemy staggers and your next hit is stronger.
• Rest at every altar you find. It restores health and prayers, saves your journey, and lets you spend Light on Health, Stamina, Spirit or the Sword of the Word. You can't rest while enemies are near.
• Light comes from spirits you drive out, from people you help and from jars you find. Look for a ! above people's heads to find quests.
• Scrolls are often hidden up high. Every 3 you find gives you an extra prayer.
• Praying also cures serpent poison.
• Light of the World uses 45 Spirit, just under half the blue bar at the start, and hits everything around you.

What makes it fun

LOGOS tells Bible stories you can walk through: a baptism in the Jordan, a storm on Galilee, a talk at Jacob's well and a climb to the Transfiguration. Later chapters add new powers, such as Peace, be still in Chapter II and Glory in Chapter IV, so fights and puzzles keep changing. Peter and Mary Magdalene join you as companions.
