Paschasinus
Roman Legate, Voice of Pope Leo I
A Visual Novel Experience
Experience the Fourth Ecumenical Council through the voices of history
The Christian world stands divided. Theological disputes over the nature of Christ have torn apart the Church, with bishops excommunicating one another and emperors struggling to maintain unity across a fractured empire.
Emperor Marcian and Empress Pulcheria have called an ecumenical council at Chalcedon, across the Bosporus from Constantinople. Here, over 500 bishops will gather to settle the question once and for all: How can Christ be both fully God and fully man?
This visual novel presents the Council of Chalcedon as a documentary experience. All dialogue is drawn from the historical records, letting you witness the actual words of the bishops, emperors, and papal legates who shaped Christian doctrine for centuries to come.
