Play Overview
The Serpent & The Seed (2025) is a narrative puzzle game where you play a small bird in a world ruled by a serpent and discover an old book offering hope. Play involves tapping to explore the world, solve puzzles and complete minigames. It stands out not only for aspirations to bring the Bible story to life for youngsters, but the quality of visuals, music and gameplay.
This adventure game is designed to engage people with the overarching story of the Bible. You are led through four acts, starting in the Garden of Eden and ending with Jesus. You explore each hand-painted scene and can engage with the narrative at your own pace. This isn't about the challenge but how the music, visuals and gameplay invite participation for young players.
As you progress, you discover more about the world ruled by a serpent and choked with thorns and brambles. Completing areas grants access to the old book and the next steps in its story. In this way, you work to end the serpent's reign.
The result is a grass-roots reimagining of what a video game of the bible might be - drawing inspiration from the likes of Sword & Sworcery, Old Man's Journey and Journey of a Broken Circle.

Rated for younger players in the US. Rated ESRB EVERYONE.
The game includes images of cartoony skeletons. There is a menacing snake character. You kill the Goliath giant with a slingshot, who sighs sadly as he dies, his body remains on the floor and then (off screen) there's the suggestion that you cut off his head, accompanied by a slicing sound. There's a silhouette image of Jesus on the cross, still moving until he dies.
