The Anointed: Heart of David is a single-player, action-adventure game with platforming elements experienced in 3rd-person perspective. Included, there is a sneak peek at the Multiplayer Demo where you play solo or in groups as one of David's allies.
You are David, a young shepherd boy that quickly realizes he has a greater purpose than just taking care of sheep. With wisdom, skill and bravery, you will progress through many events and locations from the biblical stories of young David. As David, the player has the physical ability to walk, crawl, crouch, sprint, jump, vault over objects, climb on buildings, scale up walls, swing from ropes, and there is even a horse for those long runs from Bethlehem through Ancient Israel.
The story is linear, but there are plenty of things to discover and many paths to take to fulfill each part of David's quest. Dialogues and Scrolls of information (Scripture) help guide David on the right path, while providing invaluable lessons. And, there are videos (Prayer Tips) that help the player navigate the challenges ahead. David's sling, staff, sword and spear are very useful weapons against the Philistines, the wild animals, and all the enemies of David - but Stealth can be the most rewarding strategy.
The Vitality, Righteousness, and Empowerment meters reflect the state of David as he evolves from Shepherd to King exemplifying the character traits - Discipline, Obedience, Courage, Patience and Humility - which brought God to call him, "A man after his own heart".
All of these elements and features come together in an exciting version of the biblical narrative of David, God's Anointed.
