Pilgrim: Faith as a Weapon
Pilgrim: Faith as a Weapon is a 1997 adventure video game, written by Paulo Coelho, who wrote The Pilgrimage, the novel on which the game is based. Pilgrim has been described as a "commercial cultural heritage game" and "graphic interactive fiction". It is the premiere title of Arxel Tribe and the first in an adventure trilogy, which also includes The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin (1999) and The Secrets of Alamut (2001).

The second half of the game sees a tonal shift from the first. Upon meeting the character of Petrus (pictured), Pilgrim goes beyond a series of fetch-quests and becomes infused with the philosophies of Coelho's novel and encompasses a larger spiritual narrative.
