Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
By the way, I forgot to mention that some time ago I finished The You Testament 2D. It's a very short game (2.5h long), but it's fun to try to follow Jesus and listen to his teachings, but because of confusing controls you accidentally rip Maria's leg off because of a missclick and now she has to jump on one leg until the end of the game.

The combat system is actually good (wrestling-like + some interesting magic), the dialogues are mostly Bible quotes, and the game actually offers factions (though you can only be an apostle, a priest or a citizen), and NPC friendship system (NPC can stop being your friend if you become a friend of a person he dislikes), though these are shallow systems but for the short experience of this game they work well enough - that is they provide enough hilarious situations. Moreover, Jesus tests you, and Satan persuades you and you have a few events with choices, so it does feel somewhat like an RPG.

Worth the 1€ I paid for sure.

Hahaha that's hilarious!!

But couldn't Jesus regrow her leg? I mean he revived Lazarus - that's a feat which required a higher piety stat.

Are these similar to the Postal games, or something completely different?

Sort of, it's less like Postal in the sense that the chaos isn't something you have to work for at least a little bit, it comes to you whether you want it or not. Nearly anyone, at any time, can do anything. If you just try to play the game normally, unlike Postal, you aren't going to be able to just walk past the chaos or avoid it.

They're sort of life sims running in a wrestling engine, with the AI of NPCs being completely unhinged so weird shit happens at all times.

The school game is a great example. You can get beaten the fuck up by a teacher if you misbehave in class and then sent to detention if you fight back lmao.

It's just pure chaos of NPCs interacting with each other and everything devolving into mass brawls.
