2154 – Blasphemous (2019 video game)

spacetime coordinates: The game is set in Cvstodia, a land of religion, highly influenced by Roman Catholicism, its iconography, and Spanish culture—particularly that of the Andalucía region. The land is hallowed by a force known as “The Miracle”. This force manifests itself in strange and often cruel ways, sometimes blessing and sometimes cursing Cvstodia’s inhabitants, transforming them into twisted creatures.

The protagonist is The Penitent One, the sole survivor of the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow (called so because their members have agreed to a vow of silence). He wears a mask and helmet that consists of barbed wire and a pointed helmet, and his sword is adorned with spikes as of that of a rose and an effigy. During his pilgrimage he meets characters such as Deogracias, who is found in several key moments of the story and acts as a narrator for the game; Redento, a pilgrim who walks with his back bent and his hands tied as a form of penance; Candelaria, an old merchant who sells various items; and Viridiana, who offers assistance to the player in boss battles. There is a governing Church led by His Holiness Escribar, who was reborn as the Last Son of the Miracle long before the game’s events.
