A Mascot Horror Game About Christian Propaganda

[@deemaske9143]

the acting is over the top? that's some real televangelist screaming i'm hearing there

[@nash6237]

Less general propaganda and more playing into the old televangelists. Fire and brimstone, fearmongering, and snake oil theatrics and products. But overall, I can totally agree with the games message. I’m a devout Christian, and i absolutely agree some people take it too far. Most people forget that we’re taught to accept people and welcome them as friends and family, regardless what they believe or who they are. We may feel sad or pity them for being misguided, but it isn’t our place to tell them how to live. The core of true Christianity is peace, mercy, and acceptance.

[@gabethereivewer]

As a Christian myself Amen

[@dekuloveshair5667]

Genuine Question, Why exactly do you pity people, I mean to say, If they are happy shouldn’t you be happy for them?

[@nash6237]

@ well yeah! I pity because of our differences and that sometimes people seem like they hate everything or never want to be friendly. Sure there was a lot of bad stuff in the past, but we’ve all forgotten how friendly people were a couple decades ago round the early half of the 1900’s. People would leave their doors unlocked, and hold what we all know as block parties, neighborhood or street gatherings with food and all the families kids would play together and what not.

[@dekuloveshair5667]

@ yeah unfortunately I think the way our modern society is has a major negative impact on people and their mindsets, I fall in a couple minorities and I can definitely say, it can be incredibly hard to be happy when there are so many factors fighting against you

[@nash6237]

@ yeah, same for a lot of self proclaimed Christians too. Regardless of what combo of person you are, I like you all the same, as I’m supposed to.

[@FazbearEdits-d2h]

I love the concept of this game. One of my favourite tropes in media is a character being manipulated by either a demon or another supernatural force and it turns out to just be in their delusions due to them being either mentally unstable or something else. This game is so good

[@johancito16345]

For me this is the worst posible outcome, i dont know if just undermine the horror for me of there not being a real phisical threat or another thing but i really hate when that happens

[@maxiargos1971]

in other words. The movie, Saint Maud? Which if you have not heard of it. It's fantastic movie. Highly recommend it.

[@Crispytatolover]

When im in a having good games competition and my opponent is a game about Christian propaganda(im looking at you the binding of isaac):

[@Tihan]

Thanks for playing! Small correction, we did not make it in 48 hours, that’d be insane lol

[@Th3Badd3st]

shit I was meant to say 48 dayssss

[@Derpster4Life]

I'm surprise just how good this is. Usually when a lot Christian or religous projects are released, they're just painfully bad as it's cheesy, cheap, and shoves it infront of your face. But this feels very well made and just does it over the top in a good way

[@CassiusStelar]

Well thats because this isnt a christian or religious project, its a satire of religion

[@RosieCandle08]

This game was wayyyyyyy creepier then it had any right to be

[@deckofcookiez]

2:55 I really like the added detail of the cross having an image of Jesus on it, it actually caught me off guard--most of the time, in media that discusses religion (both negatively, positively, and neutrally), they'll just use a plain cross. That's what you most commonly see, anyways. So this feels very out of place disturbing; but the thing is, there are a lot of christians that ACTUALLY do this. They will hang an actual sculpture or other art piece of a cross up, with Jesus actually on it and pinned to it. It's really fucking disturbing. And it'd be one thing if it was just up in some person's own home, like kinda uncomfortable, but it's your house so do what you want--but no, no no no. They hang this kind of shit up in SCHOOLS. For KIDS to see. I know this for a fact, because the music camp I'd gone to in the past was held in a Christian private school, and the main chorus room we were in when all together had one hanging on the wall next to the door. It was INCREDIBLY unsettling and depressing every time I saw it and I went there everyday for two weeks. Like, even if it's what you believe in, why would you show your young children the gruesome, gory details of it as a DECORATIVE DISPLAY??? WTH???? So yeah--because of that, I really appreciate that detail, since this game is such an over-the-top mockery of those kinds of christians. It fits really well here and I just generally appreciate the subtle acknowledgement of how fucked up that practice feels. Like, seriously? Hanging a detailed imitation of a person who was nailed to a cross, forced to wear thorns on his head, and left to bleed out.... on your wall? On the wall of a school???? I don't care that he's your saviour and you want to honor him and his message, you don't do that by hanging a sculpture of his TRAUMATIC DEATH on the WALL. Sorry if that was a lot, it just... it's something I've thought about for a long time, but never really seen anyone else bring up, and I rarely bring it up with others as I don't want to unintentionally offend someone or start anything. It just has always creeped me out, personally. Back to the game though, I also like that it's still kept very low resolution, looks kind of like it's just a png texture slapped onto the model of the cross; it's a good design to keep it's appearance much less graphic than actually is, and fitting the style of the game, while still being very disturbing and off-putting. Anyways I'll shut up and actually finish the video now lol, I got really hung up on this for some reason- (quick note that I do not dislike christians!! I just have some issues with the types of christians who do things that are kinda fucked up to people around them because of their religious beliefs; there are so many christians I know who do NOT do stuff like this and are so ridiculously chill, that it genuinely baffles me when I encounter the ones who believe in treating people horribly for dumb reasons and telling their kids they'll be eternally tortured if they lie. It's honestly kinda wild)

[@Mae4Ever]

“Why would you show a man being tortured”. Wow, almost as if it was the most important and significant moment in Bible’s history. I’m suppose to be disturbed and depressed? I thought it was a nice and well made sculpture as a kid. I have the exact opposite reaction. Heck, when he was at the bed while my grandma and my aunt were cleaning the room I thought I want to comfort Jesus by laying next to him. Had fond memories with him. Every time I see Jesus I just see it as a moment in the bible and nothing else. Meanwhile, I remember seeing a scene where slavery happened in the bible, and people were whip in pictures and give context of the story. To you, that’s disturbing and weird, but to me, and most Christians, it’s another history lessons. :p But I see where you’re getting at.

[@johancito16345]

The exact oposite thing is supossed to happen, i think like each time you see one of those you should feel like he died for us or something and be happy with it, it may be kinda gruesome for some people that didnt grow with that simbolysim but idk i cant say.

[@deckofcookiez]

No, that’s fair, I get it. I guess it’s one of those things I don’t fully get, as someone who grew up without those beliefs. Personally it’s just always made me very uncomfortable and sad-but I do get how it’d be the opposite for others. Sorry if my comment was kind of rude, it wasn’t my intention, it’s something I haven’t really talked about before so I kind of yapped a lot without thinking.

[@myst1que_mach1ne]

No, I wholeheartedly agree. I live with my grandparents and they have the same thing on one of their walls. These people believe Jesus was a real person, so naturally it's fucking weird to have a literal sculpture of his gruesome death in your home. My dad passed two years ago. I loved him dearly, but I don't have a portrait of him on his death bed casually hanging in my room lmfao.

[@confusedjello7292]

it might be a European thing, I've never seen a plain cross irl in my life jeezy boy is always on thrm, that's kinda the point

[@joel9104]

Genuinely a perfect video. Perfectly describes everything about this game that makes me and so many others love it so much. Very well done Isaac and Miri!

[@caketaro]

Watching this while sick with a terrible migraine pretty recently had made the heavenly music sections feel like something was off... Like I guess it all felt dreamlike.

[@BrotatoeGod]

Mental-lica could be a play on the reveal of Karen being a Scitzophrenic

[@epkurnissheoway]

love how you used some binding of isaac music in this video very fitting

[@kai_3788]

Oh wow this is great! I was thinking from the title and thumbnail that the game would be promoting Christian Propaganda. But it’s completely the opposite. Very cool.

[@XionBrown]

I adore this game, you basically spoke my entire thoughts, another well done video!

[@softcloth2009]

If my parents burned my metallica CD I’d be livid

[@enigmaj1494]

I haven’t read that many creepypastas, but one of my favorites that this reminds me of is Faith Buddies (especially because they both have Kermit the Frog-esque characters spouting propaganda.) It doesn’t really have a mental illness angle I can see, but it follows this guy who channel surfs until he finds something interesting, so he ends up invested in watching the Faith Buddies show as rhetoric gets more hateful and dogmatic with every episode.

[@warpednylium]

whys the demon kinda

[@FlowerBunny05]

demonic

[@DragonTriangle]

Very hot

[@SpectreProtomoth]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose first thought was this 😭

[@Mae4Ever]

Well the bible did mentioned Satan was (is?) handsome and that’s how he deceived people to be comfortable to sin.

[@SpectreProtomoth]

@@Mae4Ever Satan and Lucifer are different characters, but yeah, Lucifer is always depicted as very beautiful, because he's an angel. Satan and many other demon characters are often depicted as beastly and/or animalistic.

[@orangejoe03]

I feel like a concept like this could've been done in a much more interesting way but then again this game was made in like four hours so for what it's worth this is pretty cool!

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

What do you mean by that?

[@proffent4899]

Oh my goddess i haven’t heard of this game in a *while* what the hex

[@Username1-d8v]

OMG THE SALVATION PROJECT MENTIONED!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@supersmashseandx1991]

I love that the main monster is literally a puppet thats great

[@myst1que_mach1ne]

It's ironic in this context, knowing Karen was being puppeted by Seth the whole time.

[@supersmashseandx1991]

@myst1que_mach1ne ye

[@sixty5notch796]

seths voice actor really sells both the horror and the comedy of this game for me, absolute legend. i played the game before watching this vid and im so glad i did. I feel like im going to be quoting seth. "YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK!" "BOARD UP THOSE WINDOWS! BOARD UP THOSE WINDOWS!"

[@AmyStrikesBack]

I like to imagine this is the binding of isaac in the mother's point of view

[@gutoshelp2717]

Ironic seeing the baddie of all people making a video on a Christian game of sorts-

[@Mae4Ever]

Elaborate?

[@gutoshelp2717]

@ nuh-uh

[@asierx7047]

The Binding Of Isaac background music was definetely not a coincodence. This game is basically Isaac's mother's POV.

[@looperdooper4284]

Loved this game since I found it a while ago. Good video but, does this really count as mascot horror? I don't think Seth plays the same role in the horror of the game like Freddy or Bendy do in their games, so I'm hesitant to label Salvation Project in the same way. Honestly though, I think I'm just biased against the term "Mascot Horror" since I deeply dislike many of the games under that moniker.

[@andrewdiaz3529]

Well, he is a mascot that a version of is driving this woman mad. The demon is never real at all, but Seth, to some extent, does exist and does lead to her suffering.

[@DragonTriangle]

The devil maken me act up

[@SpectreProtomoth]

real

[@mishiwishu7823]

haven’t watched but the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thumbnail was muppet joker

[@SpectragonYT]

I would hit the like button for this video, but it's currently at 666 likes and that's just TOO perfect-

[@FrostByte-soft]

Next up, a video bout Torture Star video (puppet combos publishing company)

[@lunard8690]

i am a christian and devout, but i also listen to tons of music and im a very chill person and just live a life not caring about people being judgmental of me, also bisexual. as for my dad, technically step dad but i consider him my dad, he was alcoholic till i was 11, then became a sober deacon, his entire life is church, most my life he ignores me and doesnt talk to me except to criticize me for being a sinner, even though im still a closeted bisexual so he doesnt even know that. a good way to explain it...... all through my years in highschool he would get up at 3am and spend a couple hours typing out the bible on a TYPEWRITER every single night

[@dakotashadow1]

The funniest part is metallica has actually made songs based off parts of the bible 🤣

[@ghoulthedamned]

Her name is Karen!? That's funny as hell.

[@SlickGames2-gd5jw]

I like the game’s PS1 art style it reminds me of LSD Dream Simulator

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Ngl, this game's demon is kinda bad, though 😏

[@warpednylium]

thats what im saying!!! would smash

[@jamesonsmoogle7407]

When did u be red

[@redrasegarden]

The main characters name is Karen, and she consumes Christian propaganda? Oh the multitude of jokes this can inspire 😂 Sorry I’m sure the game is freaky but sometimes ya gotta find something to laugh at EDIT: i retract my earlier statement. I was completely unaware of the twist. I would never make fun of someone suffering.

[@sahilhossian8212]

Lore of A Mascot Horror Game About Christian Propaganda momentum 100

[@dopytheangel]

As a Christian I love sick and twisted versions of Christianity. It’s weird I know. It’s hard to explain myself.

[@jackalenterprisesofohio]

Then you'll love my idea of Christianty (as a Christian myself) Since Jesus is our shepherd, and we are his sheep, then that means he's going to eventually slaughter us and use our animal remains as food and clothing. Well, this is the condensed idea anyway.

[@corbinallen4562]

Honestly normal Christians in America are already kinda twisted versions of themselves.

[@dopytheangel]

@@jackalenterprisesofohio Nice. Me personally I always wanted a silent hill like version of christianity. which I have been working on for a while. now. Which started with one character when I was 12 and throughout the years the story changed a lot until this one became my main idea in my 30s. This story is a silent hill inspired fantasy story. I hope that makes sense. If anyone wanted to steal it. Good we need more of that.

[@ms.pirate]

What propaganda?! What's with the hate on Christianity?!

[@Th3Badd3st]

worst comment I’ve gotten this year thank u

[@CassiusStelar]

You're literally being homophobic in your recent comments

[@wednesdayapril5435]

Who is hating? Did you watch the video? It mainly criticized evangelists and fundamentalist who in themselves do nothing but hate other people. And even then they didn't say anything hateful about Christians.

[@corbinallen4562]

Bro chill despite what you think nobody's trying to tear down Christianity. Plus you really shouldn't be talking considering Christianity is responsible for way more religions going away or being attacked through force.
