The Pilgrim's Progress

The Pilgrim's Progress is an adventure following Christian on his journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. Across its first three chapters, you face trials, meet friends and foes, and make choices that shape the story, character interactions and the world around you.

Christian's journey

The story explores faith, redemption and perseverance. You travel through environments including the murky Slough of Despond and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, with the Celestial City as your destination. The listed chapters span forests, swamps, caves, deserts, castles, valleys and mountains:

• Forbidder Forest: enter a dense, eerie forest filled with lurking enemies and tests of courage.
• Swamp of Despond: cross a treacherous swamp that threatens to pull you under, representing despair and doubt.
• Cave of Darkness: face fear and darkness in a twisting, dangerous cave.
• Desert of Loneliness: cross a barren expanse where isolation and temptation loom.
• Doubting Castle: survive a castle where hope is imprisoned and faith must be defended.
• Valley of Humiliation: face tests of humility, where pride can lead to ruin.
• Delectable Mountains: find a place of peace and preparation before the final leg of the journey.

Platforming and combat

You navigate challenging terrain, avoid traps, solve puzzles and fight enemies in platforming and action-combat sequences. Battles call for planning and skill. You can collect resources and upgrades to improve your armor, swords, bows and abilities, helping you face tougher challenges.

Faith and choices

Faith is a central combat system. Hitting an enemy increases your faith, while taking a hit lowers it; it also diminishes over time, and its rate of decline accelerates as you progress through each chapter. The damage you deal depends on your current faith. Reaching the next faith level raises your maximum health.

Your decisions affect Christian's journey, the story and the world, including interactions with other characters. The branching narrative gives choices consequences across the adventure.
