Sword of the Spirit is a Bible app from indie developer Nolan Ng (Couch Brotato) that turns reading Scripture into an RPG-style journey. You level stats such as Joy and Peace, equip armor, and face enemies named Lust, Addiction, Anger, and Envy as you go.^1 The same app still works as a conventional reader, with highlighting, notes, translations, and a Journal that gathers annotated verses by book or chapter.^2
Campaign mode presents a reading plan as levels. Every few levels you meet an encounter and can answer a question about recent reading for a damage boost. Quests, explorable rooms with gear, a forge that breaks unused equipment into scrap you can reforge into new gear, a skills screen, plus daily and weekly challenges, achievements, and conquests sit beside the reader.^1
Nolan Ng sells the app on the App Store under his own name^2 and publishes as Couch Brotato, an indie developer who describes the studio as committed to bringing back the golden age of couch co-op gaming.^5 Sword of the Spirit is built in Godot and playable in the browser from its Itch.io Early Access page, which also links to the store versions.^3 The same developer also ships Light of Mine, a community-driven Bible and audio app.^4
It is free on Google Play, the App Store, and in the browser, and is still marked Early Access on Itch.io.^3
