Expulsar 1.9

Expulsar is a comprehensive interactive experience featuring all seven thematic scenes—Demons of Anger, Gluttony, Impurity, Greed, Sloth, Envy, and Pride—each designed for unlimited gameplay. Within each scene, the player engages in a symbolic battle against a distinct demon, guided by characters embodying virtue.

The gameplay centers on the moral allegory of eradicating vice through virtue, as players navigate challenges under the benevolent guidance of virtuous characters to confront and dispel the demonic influences.

Addressing contemporary concerns about prevalent negative influences globally, this program offers a unique integration of biblical knowledge and ethical education within an engaging gaming format. Its primary goal is to promote moral values through an enjoyable and interactive method.

The term 'Expulsar,' meaning 'to eradicate' or 'cast out' in Spanish, reflects the core intent of the game. Players are instructed to avoid enticing negative objects such as gold coins, mirrors, or loaves of leavened bread, instead collecting positive items to bolster their energy levels.

Ultimately, with the assistance of a virtuous character, players confront and defeat the seven demons in a face-to-face battle within each scene. Failure to progress after four attempts results in possession by the demon; however, players can then take control of their faithful helper and re-engage in combat. The confrontation features dynamic exchanges with the demon, accompanied by bells signaling the ongoing struggle. Success culminates in harmony and prayer as all characters unite following the demons’ defeat.

The game is designed for children ages 5-11 but offers enjoyment for participants of all ages. Players choose to embody either George or his twin sister Sarah and select from 18 virtuous characters to aid in combating the sins that have taken over familiar settings. They then select one of three divine weapons and one prayer from a set of seven, entering into one of seven vividly illustrated scenes. The gameplay involves platform jumping to attack negative objects for points and collecting energy from positive objects to cast out demons through direct confrontation.

Five key features underscore the educational value of Expulsar:

• It provides both written and verbal tutorials that guide players effectively through the game mechanics.
• The 'Game Concept' section within the tutorial includes biblical verses supporting the moral themes.

• The seven prayers included can be listened to or read at any time, supporting spiritual preparation for First Communion.
• Participants are encouraged to confidently invoke ‘Go’ (in Jesus' name) when facing challenges in daily life, reinforcing faith-based resilience.
