Can a video game lead to a spiritual experience? In this special 4th of July episode of the Circle Dwellers podcast, Matt and Timothy Krell share five indie video games that deeply impacted them—not just as entertainment, but as vehicles for meaning, wonder, and even profound insight into God's nature. From the meditative puzzles of The Witness and time-warping beauty of Braid, to the metaphor-rich world of Hyper Light Drifter, the cosmic mystery of Outer Wilds, and the timeless influence of Myst and Riven, this episode explores how games can reveal deep truths about design, hiddenness, free will, and epiphany. Whether you’re a Christian, gamer, or parent seeking deeper experiences through media, this thoughtful conversation will show how digital art—when done well—can reflect spiritual truths.
