I highly recommend for anyone interested in understanding the human side of religion (or more precise: spirituality) to play Gorogoa. I have never seen a better illustration of the mystic worldview.
It's an adorable short puzzle game that plays with perspective and context. Most importantly: It's really fun!
I just replayed Gorogoa with my 7yo to show that video games are not just Mario or Zelda and, my god, what a unique experience it is.
Very reassured that he enjoyed it as much as I did.
I can’t recommend enough Jason Roberts’ making of talk at GDC. So much though and care put in that game.
If, like me, you haven't played Gorogoa in a long time, you should know that there's an update that adds a chapter containing the demo of the game released in 2012. It is unlocked by completing the game.

I played Gorogoa last night 🖼️
This game is as inventive and wonderful as ever 🤩
A masterpiece 💖 💖 💖
Pour rester sur le thème des p'tits jeux "puzzle" : Gorogoa est une belle surprise !
Testé sur Switch, son gameplay est très clairement prévu pour une expérience PC à la souris... Vous devez déplacer des cases, zoomer ou dézoomer, vous déplacer dans celles-ci ; pour aligner ou superposer les éléments afin de progresser dans le récit 🧩
C'est beau, poétique, intelligent et créatif... Je recommande ! 🙂
