Ezekiel by Austin Sierra
Ezekiel 33:10
Whether we are righteous or wicked, our sins are judged the same. In this game built for the TempleOS operating system, you press the space bar to pray to your lord for forgiveness.
"Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?” ’ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’
“Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.

I found that with some practice you can get away with about 5 sins per prayer. 6 is a bit inconsistent and got me my retribution.
For those running Linux here's what I used to run the game with QEMU:
```
7z x Ezekiel.zip
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 TempleOS.vdi TempleOS.qcow2
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -enable-kvm -nic none -vga std -drive file=TempleOS.qcow2,format=qcow2,media=disk
```
This is by far the coolest idea for an LD submission I've ever seen, and probably the most fun TempleOS game ever submitted to LD. Congratulations!

learned something today.
RIP Terry.
Is there a goal time, or do you just keep praying every 10 seconds until you die? (Which is perfectly thematic, just want to know if I should keep trying for an end state.)
Would be nice if the game over screen showed your score and had a way to restart the game. I tried closing out the game and restarting it, but the OS locked up, so after that, I ended up just rebooting the machine whenever I got a game over and wanted to try again. (That probably has more to do with unfamiliarity with the OS than anything else, couldn't get menus to work properly, stuff like that, but an in-game obvious way to restart would be nice regardless.)
