This is my 'video game' although I prefer the term 'interactive experience' or simply 'interactive art'. It explores the philosophical conflict in our society between rationality and irrationality or according to other between our spiritual side and materialism. I refer of course to the conflict between science and religion.
I warn you now this game will be confronting, it will take you on a journey through the oppression of a brilliant mind as it is forced to conform to the Church's orthodoxy and rebels against the boundaries imposed upon it. So please sit back and prepare yourself for the emotional roller coaster ride that is Charles Darwin versus the Catholic Church (also known as Darwinicide).
