Only this way you'll defy all videogaming norms and prove your rights as the ultimate Player, worthy of changing the world of tERRORbane forever.

The 4Runner's Gospel(T4G) is a series of fictional video games and interactive content inspired by the New Testament. It takes players on a hands on visual and musical adventure filled with adrenaline, puzzling mysteries, and engaging animations.

The 4Runner's Gospel offers the principles of faith through gaming to make faith fun. The intention of T4G is to shift the way children and young adults learn about stories from the Bible. Today, they are more likely to interact and learn from stories in video games or animations than to read the stories in the Bible. This is because the way we interact with faith based content is outdated. Where's the fun? T4G is the new and innovative solution to teach people about spirituality through media by bringing play into the equation. It leaves room for growth and exploration by putting the learning experience in the hands of the player

We follow Jon, Peta and Jude (futuristic re-imaginations of John the Baptist, Peter and Judas) who are wrongfully imprisoned and banished to the dystopian city of Nemean. Together, they develop an elaborate plan to escape toward freedom and the promise of a savior who awaits on the other side.

Don't be discouraged by THE GIANT F*ING BOSSES that are more than capable of turning your innards outwards – just grab the best perks and weapons along the way.

All these things stack, so you have every opportunity to turn your furry warrior into a raging death machine.

You'll still die, though. That's just how life is, even for those who wield a rail gun. But who cares about death when your audience loves YOU? Unlike real life, here you can make good use of the likes you receive.

Use your new-found fame to help upgrade every item and every perk to deal even more damage when you head out again. Oh, don't worry about getting bored: every episode of the show is randomized so you'll never have the same run for a second time.

And, when you are completely done with show business, invite your friends and party-up with co-op mode with up to four players! Play smart and synergize with the team or bash their teeth in when they will try to steal your power-ups: every dirty trick in the book is valid, and every strategy works as long as you are having fun.

Time reappears, childhood memories revive
The background of the story is that the author lived in China in the 1990s. In the gradually well-off era, all kinds of old objects and old shops were perfectly presented in a picture of pixel style. It elaborately depicts the environment of China in the 1990s; every picture was carefully prepared that players can't help immersing in it.

Original music brings you comfortable experience
Melodious original harmonica sound, recorded music by music masters. The notes moving with the wind swing on the field of the township. It enables players to feel the golden waves and rice fields in the beautiful music, and create the most comfortable game atmosphere for them. After gradually pulling the progress bar, the scene lines suddenly become profound and enlightening with the music.

Concise dialogue, rich foreshadowing
In the concise dialogue with people around you, you can skillfully get a lot of foreshadowing hidden in words; the real emotions come out slowly, and more stories are hidden in every detail of the game. When you tap slowly and relish carefully, you will gradually find that we are telling a warm story.

Interactive operation, childhood games
In the process of plot exploration, rich interactive games are interspersed, recreating the playing scenes in the old-fashioned game machines in childhood, recording those once beautiful game times and returning to the 1990s.

An elderly woman with red painted cheeks cradles a wounded child tenderly to her breast, mother of the motherless. A crystal-eyed robot holds a bouquet of roses, a cigarette hanging roughly from her lips. A thick-thighed girl with a long green braid kicks and pirouettes, taking impossible leaps in the night sky.

The Life of Saint Fiona Bianco Xena is a kaleidoscopic vision of one woman seen through three rotating eyes, an illusion of separated light scattering in different directions. The work is a comment on how the stories of women in the public eye are retold, twisted, mutated and used as a projection screen for the exorcising of current social and cultural demons.

Unexplored 2 is unique in the way that it generates a vast, rich world for each player to explore, including the levels, villages and dungeons within them. On top of that it adds emergent quests, puzzles, even parts of the backstory and clan politics.

At its core Unexplored 2 is a challenging roguelite RPG, with a table-top 'feel', a node-based open world & cool twist on permadeath: your character may die, but the world persists. The game won't shine in its first 30 minutes, but once you start to understand the mechanics, the freedom and the sheer amount of possibilities, we think the lure of exploration will most definitely draw you in for a very long time.
