They let players explore worlds that have been radically changed by cataclysmic events (nuclear fallout, zombie outbreak, etc.) that have killed much of earth’s inhabitants and radically changed life for those who survived. They do not depict the literal end of the world.
Most post-apocalyptic games are not truly apocalyptic in the biblical sense. While these apocalypses that are predicted in these games are far different from the Bible’s, apocalyptic games do get something right about the end of the world, something that can encourage your students as they seek to live for Christ. Your students are not only fascinated with post-apocalyptic films and TV shows, but many of them love to explore digital post-apocalyptic worlds in video games like Fallout 4 and Tom Clancy’s The Division. You know this because you hear them talking about The Walking Dead and Interstellar.
Your students are obsessed with the apocalypse.
