A new videogame, “The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance,” provides a digital platform for kids to learn about the Bible. The game, which opened to the public in January, shares the biblical narrative through a medium that is native and accessible to a digital generation.
The game was created by Scarlet City Studios, a New Zealand-based partner of American Bible Society that uses digital media to tell stories of redemption. “We’re trying to connect young people with the story of Scripture,” says Tim Cleary, who wrote the story behind the game. Thanks to support from American Bible Society’s financial partners, youth are now able to immerse themselves in the biblical story in a fresh, interactive way.
