Lead the Catholic Church with the New Pope Simulator

We’ve gotten simulators of everything from goats to drug dealers, but now Ultimate Games SA is allowing players to take control of the Holy Father with Pope Simulator.

Check out the trailer:

Here’s the official description:

Realistic simulator of the Pope – face the problems of the modern world from the point of view of the head of the Church. Make decisions that will weigh on the fate of humanity, convert and support the crowds. Plan the church's strategic actions through faithful envoys. Manage your travels around the globe. Fight for peace.

Oddly enough, the game goes into very great detail about what it’s like to be the pope. Besides going around the Vatican and blessing followers, you actually have the option to go to war-torn areas and spread the Word of God. You can even meet up with warlords and try to bring the humanity out of them.

The details don’t stop there as well, you can even go so far as to alter your pope’s traits like Persuasion, Knowledge, and Sacrifice which will affect how you play the game and interact with the rest of the world.

Ultimate Games SA CEO Mateusz Zawadzki also had this to say about Pope Simulator:

“The Pope has no military or economic power behind him, but he has other means of influencing the world, which was evident in the 1980s, for example, when the communist system in Poland collapsed. Our idea assumes the possibility to use, among others, the so-called soft power, and – consequently – influence the fate of the world and interfere in international politics. All this, of course, in accordance with the vision adopted by the player”

No specific release date has been set for Pope Simulator yet, but we do know that it’s expected to hit PC.
