Peace be upon you, readers, i am a Christian mother, and I was shocked when I discovered my son playing People Playground, a game where the sole objective is to experiment with harming faceless figures through electrocution, impaling, or burning. While it may seem harmless because of its simple graphics, the message it sends is deeply troubling: violence is entertainment, and life is disposable.

Not long after he started playing, I noticed changes in my son’s behavior. He seemed less sensitive. One day, he and a friend built a contraption out of rocks and grass and called it a “trap” inspired by something from the game. They laughed about how it's just like the game dismissing the seriousness of what they were mimicking.

The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:8 to focus on what is pure, noble, and admirable. People Playground does the opposite, rewarding creativity through cruelty and conditioning kids to find humor in suffering. This desensitization, even in a digital setting, can shape how they see the real world.

I’ve since banned the game in our home and made him play something less sinful like "Dead by daylight" "But Mom, it’s just a game!” he protested. Sure, but so is Uno, While my son resisted at first, he’s now enjoying other hobbies too, like drawing and running.
Romans 12:9 says, “Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” I urge other parents to look beyond the surface of the games their children play. It’s our responsibility to nurture compassion and teach our kids some morals does not matter virtual or not, Matthew 15:19 reminds us, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts
