'''''[http://www.mdickie.com/downloads.htm The You Testament]''''' is a speculative what-if game by the indie developer Mat Dickie, better know among his fans and [[Hatedom]] as MDickie. In it, you take the role of a disciple of Jesus Christ, who follows his teacher through the stories of Jesus found in the Bible; incredibly loose versions of the stories, that barely resemble any extant edition of the Bible.
 
Although ''The You Testament'' was meant to be MDickie's last game, he eventually changed his mind and made a sequel (actually a mod of the first game), ''Making of a Prophet'', about Muhammad, the founder of Islam.

'''This game has examples of:'''
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Oooooh, so much. Characters in The Making Of A Prophet can go from being named Muhammad to Plato to Buddha to '''''Wendy'''''.
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The AI for most of the people on the map can only be described as random, with a penchant for acting like complete jerks. Characters will wander to one corner of the map, stand there for a while, walk to the center of the map, sit down for a few seconds, get back up, walk over to another character and start violently beating them for no reason until they fall over, then walk over to you, steal whatever it is you're holding and run for it (and if course, if you try to take it back, they'll claim it's theirs and threaten you to give it back.)
Line 32:
* [[Religion Is Magic]]: You get a whole bunch of strange abilities for following Jesus or Muhammad, including healing hands, the ability to alter the terrain, and if you're evil, fireballs!
* [[Ridiculously Average Guy]]/[[Composite Character]]: Your character is basically every incidental person from the Bible who encounters Jesus and learns a lesson without necessarily becoming a dedicated follower. This occasionally requires that the story be mangled out of shape so that some random guy fits.
* [[Spared Byby the Adaptation]]: Abu Jahl in The Making Of A Prophet survived the Battle of Badr, and because of this [[Composite Character|is combined with Abu Sufyan]]. [[Subverted Trope|He still gets killed off,]] just not when he was supposed to die.
* [[Title Drop]]: A particularly clumsy one, too. "And when they write down their unique version of the experience, it will be called The You Testament."
* [[Visual Novel]]: It might not seem like it, but this has enough of the requirements fulfilled to be considered one.
