The name of the game is "Escape from the Temple," and its idea is that the player takes the idol's statue from the temple and escapes, while being pursued by demonic forces. This shows that the religious doctrinal aspect is part of the game's content. Therefore, it should be avoided for fear that it might involve an affirmation of that idol.
