Behold is a mystery game set in the stories of the Bible.
Each case is a passage: you study the pictures of its moments, work out who is who and what happened, and fill the blanks of the account in the game’s own words — then the reveal shows the text itself.
You don’t need to remember the story. Everything you need is in the picture.

Behold has no accounts and no ads, and it collects nothing that says who you are. Your progress stays on your device, and the game never sends it anywhere. It counts how its cases are played, never who plays them. You can turn Counting off in About, at the foot of the cases page.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.
Start with the valley. It teaches the game.
