Demon’s Souls: Is God Apathetic?

Gamebug: "On the first day, man was granted a soul, and with it, clarity. On the second day, upon the Earth was planted an irrevocable poison, a soul devouring demon. These are the words that first greet the player upon entering the world of From Software’s masterpiece: Demon’s Souls.

For a game so focused on the slaying of Demons, it’s no surprise that the game raises a lot of questions when it comes to religion. It’s not often that a game will touch upon a subject matter like this; quite often games will feature gods, as well as player interaction with them, but it is a rarity for a game to raise questions of religious morality. The primary question Demon’s Souls asks is whether or not god is in fact apathetic towards humans."
