Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers(1997)
This game is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Book of Revelation - apocalyptic themes and end-times scenarios, Angels and demons - divine/infernal hierarchy (Hebrews 1:14, 2 Peter 2:4), Divine judgment - evaluation and punishment of souls, Temptation and moral choice - ethical decision-making with spiritual consequences (Genesis 3, Matthew 4). We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
