Grezzo 2
Grezzo 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Italian game designer Nicola Piro and released in 2012. The game is a complete conversion of the 1993 video game Doom. Its development began in the early 2000s with the version called Grezzo 1, when Nicola Piro was attending high school. The plot follows the adventure of Piro, a pagan farmer who, fed up and disgusted with Christianity, plans to kill Jesus Christ to prevent the rise of his religious phenomenon. In the game, the player must overcome various levels, defeat enemies and bosses and use a variety of weapons. Many well-known personalities of Italian culture appear in the game, as well as allusions to extremely satirical social, political and religious themes of the country. After its release in 2012, Grezzo 2 received a lot of attention both inside and outside its country of origin due to its extremely blasphemous, vulgar and violent content.
Story
The protagonist of Grezzo 2 is Piro, a pagan farmer from Perugia, Italy. Embittered by the rise of Christianity, Piro embarks on a series of murders. His first target is the church where his grandparents' silver wedding anniversary was celebrated. Piro massacres the guests and dies shortly afterwards. He then falls into the afterlife to be judged by God, who is depicted as an irascible, foul-mouthed man in a cultish robe. Depending on what the player does, Piro can either fight God and kill him or avoid the fight and escape the afterlife. An example of blasphemy in Grezzo 2: In the course of the game, the player kills Jesus twice. After returning to earth and killing countless other people, Piro concocts a plan to kill Jesus Christ in his childhood and thus prevent the emergence of Christianity. Piro enters the womb of the Virgin Mary and kills the pregnant Jesus inside. At the place where Jesus dies, an egg appears, which Piro fertilizes with his seed. From this egg, a new Piro is born, who graphically breaks out of the Virgin Mary and kills her. The reborn Piro takes out a banjo and plays a song for the Magi, who stood by the Virgin Mary's side.
