The Serpent & The Seed is a Bible-inspired narrative adventure that takes players from the Garden of Eden through to Revelation, using hand-drawn artwork, atmospheric puzzles and a beautiful original soundtrack by Poor Bishop Hooper. Playing as the adorable robin Mungo, players experience familiar Biblical stories through symbolic imagery, gentle puzzle mechanics and strong voice acting. The gameplay is simple and linear, but the puzzles provide a decent challenge, with a few proving trickier than expected. The artwork is delightful, while the music is arguably the game's greatest achievement.
Although those looking for a traditional, challenging point and click adventure may find the experience too straightforward, The Serpent & The Seed succeeds at what it sets out to do. It tells a beautiful story, does not shy away from the more serious elements of the Bible, and presents its familiar stories in an imaginative way. You certainly do not need to be deeply religious to appreciate it. In a gaming landscape dominated by guns and violence, there is something refreshing about a game that offers a very different experience. I thoroughly enjoyed The Serpent & The Seed
