About this walkthrough
I’ve split this into 2 parts.
Part 1 concentrates on exploration in order to identify the various locations, characters & items as well as accumulating some of the latter along the way.
Part 2 deals mainly with puzzle-solving to meet objectives as they arise.
To aid ‘navigation’ & avoid repeating directions I’ve included a diagram which marks the locations - it’s not a map!
The walkthrough does not include achievements or acknowledge the 17 crosses to be found as most will be acquired automatically during the course of the game.
Important: There are many items/characters to look at/interact with & dialogue choices to make most of which are not specified in this walkthrough but may be necessary to progress & also to get the best out of the story.
A location, item or dialogue choice may not be available until another action has been performed.
This is just one order of gameplay.
Walkthrough Part 1
Present Day
Watch the intro.
Biblical Times
After learning that Jesus survived his crucifixion & managed to escape, see him emerge from a house in a small village. His aim is to leave there as soon as he can but he has something to accomplish first.
Village
You (as Jesus) have Five denarius in inventory.
Go forward & enter the house directly ahead.
Talk to Mary Magdalene. The plan is to go to India but she won’t travel with you until she knows where her father Aram is.
There are 3 possibilities.
You’d also like to find John.
Pick up the Comb from the shelf. Leave the house.
Enter the nearest house on the left. Look at the wild lettuce - it’s used to relieve pain & as a cure for insomnia. Talk to the old man to learn that his name is Simeon. He won’t let you have the wild lettuce as he needs it while he’s still alive & won’t die until he’s met Jesus Christ.
Explore the outskirts of the village
From the village centre take the exit to the east.
Click on the door to the right of the melon storage (MS) to find that it’s Rahab’s house (RH). Talk to her but she’s not helpful.
Continue east to the carpenter (C). Talking to him reveals that Felix has the largest front door in town.
Right-click to look at the left grilles to notice the Nail before taking it.
Go east again to the carriage driver (CD). He will be taking you to India. Pick up the Carrot.
Go east yet again to be on a cliff top (CT). From here go south to arrive back in the village centre.
Get past the hares
From the village go north to arrive in a wood (W). Go further west to another scene past the bees.
You’re afraid of the white hares. Use the carrot on yourself to eat it - it scares them away.
Pick up the Flintstone near the base of the tree on the left.
Go west to be at the town gate (TG)
From here go west to the Sea of Galilee (SoG). Take the Crab. Talk to the fisherman.
Explore the town
Go back to the town gate & go forward through it.
Talk to the Observer (O) leaning out of the window on the right.
He thinks Aram is with Rahab.
Enter the doorway on the left & talk to the Music trader (MT). When you ask about the price of the instruments the only one within your budget is the ney. Give the trader five denarius to get the Ney (to play at your wedding!). Leave the shop.
Enter the house ahead to see a dismal woman (DW). Talk to her to learn that her husband is an unsuccessful fisherman but needs him to bring her just one fish to help her ill father.
After leaving the house, go west & talk to the homeless man. He is very hungry. No-one offers him bread & water.
Interact with the left door ahead to note that it’s a luxurious house (LH).
The market
Going west from the luxurious house takes you by three groups of traders (T)
After talking to the egg seller help yourself to Cotton wool from the sleeping merchant.
Talk to the bread seller. She will give you Bread for free if you can pass a test by answering her questions.
N.B. Most of the info needed is not to be discovered within the game but easily found on the internet if you choose to break the 4th wall.
Otherwise the answers are:
1 - Who art in heaven, 2 - Mary, 3 - Judas , 4 - Peter, 5 - King of the Jews, 6 - My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?, 7 - A wise philosopher, 8 - Fourteen generations, 9 - Moses, 10 - You shall have no other gods before Me, 11 - His hair, 12 - Lilith, 13 - In the Epic of Gilgamesh, 14 - Horus, 15 - Jesus.
The lentil seller seems miserable and doesn’t want to sell you anything.
Further along you encounter the pigeon seller. Talk to John - he thinks Aram has been abducted by Barabbas.
Continue to the west to arrive back at the town gate
Explore the eastside of the town
Travel east to be by the town wall (TW).
Talk to Felix’s son. You’ve noticed that he’s yawning & learn he’s not getting enough sleep. Felix’s donkey is incapable of work at the moment but he also has a second borrowed donkey.
Pick up a Wooden staff.
Go south & enter the house of Jesus Barabbas (JB). Aram could be in the room on the left but Barabbas threatens you if you try to look.
Leave the house. Go west & talk to Felix in front of a large door so you know it’s his house (FH). He won’t tell you if Aram is in the house & won’t let you look. You try to get him to leave by telling him his son is in trouble but he wants proof.
Enter the house (CW) left of the Synagogue door (SD) to see a woman cooking. She will give you some soup if you get some lentils from her husband. Take the Lemon from the shelf.
Go through the small doorway on the left to enter a stable. Click on the straw.
Take the Ladder.
Notice that the donkey has insects flying around it. Use the comb on the donkey to get Lice.
After leaving the house continue west to the Ceramicist master (CM). After talking to him you can pick up a Bowl.
You’ve now come across all locations & characters available at this point.
Aram’s whereabouts are not known for sure but it is thought that he could be with either Rahab, Felix or Barabbas.
