Church Simulator Game 'Mass: We Pray' Announced, Simply Cannot Be Real Update: As expected, Mass: We Pray has been

Original: Prayer Works Interactive today announced Mass: We Pray, a Church-centric mini-game compilation with specialized controllers that must represent some sort of elaborate hoax.

Packing support for the motion-sensitive CROSS controller and pressure-sensitive KNEELER, Mass: We Pray sees players battle for pew position and "Grace points" across "24 unique and exhilarating rituals," such as sprinkling Holy Water, making the Sign of the Cross and serving Holy Communion.

"After all, a family shouldn't have to wait until Sunday to worship the Lord," reads the press release we received, which does not specify release platforms and lists a generic e-mail in the place of actual names or contact details. Further digging provides little evidence that Prayer Works actually exists and reveals that masswepray.com was just registered by Portuguese company Domain Discreet on November 3, 2009.

Seriously, just watch that trailer and read the press release. It can't be real.

Whatever's actually going on, there's a chance we'll learn more when pre-orders for Mass: We Pray open on November 20. Until then, feel free to dig through the press release for clues, and kudos to the mastermind behind this. You've got our attention.
