Published on December 23, 2019, a video game titled 'I Am Jesus Christ' has raised eyebrows due to its unusual premise.

The game, developed by Polish video game developer PlayWay, is a realistic simulator game inspired by stories from the New Testament.

Players take on the role of Jesus Christ, performing feats like healing a blind woman, producing fish out of thin air, and walking on water to save a ship caught in a storm.

According to the game's Steam description, players can 'pray like Him for getting superpower, perform famous miracles like Him from Bible like casting demons, healing and feeding people, resurrection and more in 'I am Jesus Christ'.

The game's premise has sparked a heated debate online, with some considering it humorous and others calling it blasphemous or trivial.

PlayWay is known for its various simulation games, but 'I Am Jesus Christ' is undoubtedly their weirdest title to date.
