We just got a press release for Mass: We Pray earlier today from Paryer Works Interactive and it's so ridiculous that we doubt that this is a real thing. Seriously, just look at the Web site or watch the video above. It feels like something College Humor or Adult Swim would do.
Cross-shaped controllers, Holy Water sprinkling mini-game, pressure-sensitive kneeling pads -- just wow. Bravo to the people behind this fake. And in the off chance that this is real ... Jesus Christ, seriously!?
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Haha, oh wow. Actually, this reminds me of Phillip K. Dick's "Empathy Box", which allowed mass worship for billions from the comfort of their homes. Granted, I imagined that that was way less ridiculous than this.
The screenshots give it away. This video has the production values of a viral video made by a pretentious internet savvy hipster college douche. So, I guess it's supposed to be hilarious.
If it is indeed real, then God has some real douche bag devotees.
There is literally no way this is real. The screens (with the points raking up super fast) are usually a clear sign of fakeness.
But it sure is hilarious!
*cue religion bashing*
My guess is that this is a viral campaign for a game with the devil or demons or something in it. It would explain why they sent this to dtoid (and apparently gametrailers), and why the whois is obscured (so we can't see who the actual publisher is). I bet the actual game gets announced when the supposed pre-orders for Mass: We Pray would start.
have any one ever EVER seen graphics like that on ANY game!? c'mon people. Obvious fake.
And if it's on here it might just be a viral for something else. Maybe the title is an anagram or something and the video is a joke on that? Whatever. Since the post is on religion then I expect 100 replies at least....unfortunately.
isn't it a little late for a Blair Witch Project: The Video Game, guys? it's so obviously fake. just look at those screens that look like something from Play Mobile!
Yeah. At some point the anti-Christian humor goes a little over the top into the territory of *gasp* bad taste and disrespect. It's not that this is a parody of religious software or fundamentalist products for sale, but the swinging of a cross like that and the mimmicking of specific parts of a mass is out of line. I'm not gonna boycott Destructoid for posting this or anything like that. But it's tiresome to see over and over that one religion seems to get the OK for being disrepsected and not so much for other religions. FAIL. I think I'll go call some atheists and laugh at them about their grandma's dying of cancer. NOT FUNNY? OH....
Yeah, idno if the bible belt would dig into this too much. It's called Mass: We Pray, mass is primarily used by us catholics for service, and I'm pretty sure the bible belt is mostly Protestants.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun.

my face is now a palm shaped crater.
The kneeling pew accessory was the giveaway that this was a fake.
"Mass: Wii Pray"
For your Phillip K. Dick reference, you're the man of the day.

My brain just lost a lot of braincells from an uncontrolled facepalm movement. :<
There is no fucking way
It just can`t be real.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. but I laughed. I'll give it that.

There is no way this is real. It's straight wack yo!
