Become saint in your lifetime

or die trying

Game description

Choose and preach your doctrine across medieval Italy in this real-time strategy roguelike. Gather your diverse cast of followers, venture out to convince and convert new believers, conquer towns, and strive to become a saint in your lifetime—or die trying.

Synopsis

In Becoming Saint, you are a young woman from Assisi, Italy, setting out to become a preacher around a hundred years after Saint Francis. You start with a small following; define the points of your creed picked from the vast array of heretical beliefs of the time, and try to convert one small town at a time.

  • Generative Tragicomic Narrative: Each playthrough presents different moral, cultural, and religious choices, leading to various outcomes. While the themes are serious and some endings are tragic, they’re all laced with humor.
  • Combat system: Semi automated medieval battle mechanics in a small manageable grid synergies supporting a variety of tactics. Nobody dies, you can run or convert!
  • Highly replayable: Players will learn from failure and find new challenges and strategies to advance their sainthood even further and gain higher scores.
  • Power in rebellion: Model and propose rebellious and revolutionary ideas to your followers whilst also exploring how problematic it can be to keep consistent “pure” principles as your power and responsibilities grow.
