Dante's Inferno(2010)
This game is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Hell and the nine circles of damnation (medieval Christian cosmology based on biblical concepts of divine judgment), Lucifer/Satan as the supreme power in Hell (Isaiah 14:12-15, Revelation 12:7-9, 2 Corinthians 11:14), Beatrice as divine grace and redemption (theological symbolism rooted in Christian soteriology), Virgil as reason and human wisdom guiding the protagonist (classical virtue in Christian medieval thought). We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
