Far Cry 5
Determination: Explicit — Corruption 3, Blasphemy 2
A Christian doomsday cult runs a whole county, baptizes captives by force, and preaches Revelation — and the ending proves its prophet right.
A rookie deputy accompanies a U.S. Marshal to arrest Joseph Seed in his church and instead ignites open war with Eden's Gate, whose followers have bought the land, the radio station, and the police. Seed's brothers run the county's three regions as lieutenants of the faith: John extracts confessions and tattoos sins, Jacob conditions soldiers, Faith drugs converts into bliss. A scholarly database of millenarian movements describes the cult as presented as a White American Christian community; its founder's father preached an extreme conservative Christianity, and Joseph quotes Revelation in the manner of David Koresh.
