Play through the first story of The Hand Of God - and God's Loving Heart. Two divine beings. Also, a literal hand and heart. When heaven demands overtime, extra hours in the office - They begin to question what a life outside divine duty might just look like.
As they work endless cases, take strange prayer calls, and face emotional overloads on Heaven's prayer request line, something begins to grow between them. Soft.. terrifying. It may just be love, even though neither of them was designed to survive it.
Make choices. Play interactive games like "Bless or stress", and come along with the Be Not Afraid universe as we introduce ourselves to various characters in the biblically accurate Yuri novel.
Be Not Afraid: Threads Of Light mixes comedic moments, with serious moments and reflection. Heavenly workplace drama, soft yuri moments - we have it all.
You will guide their conversations, make small choices that shape their days, and witness the truth they carry: even divine beings deserve rest, love, and a life that belongs to them.
