What it does

The fiction and the machinery occupy the same room.

In the world

Bodies and coffins pass through its ceremonies. Jesus speaks with an Australian accent, and the bodies are timed to explode on the second joint or glass of wine.

In play

The Bible connects the Chapel to confession, redemption, JooJoo recovery and bargaining with Shrift. The exact current lifeline count is being reconciled rather than invented here.

01 / Ritual node

A functional ceremonial space, not decorative religious scenery.

02 / JooJoo

Confession and redemption can change the moral state carried by the player.

03 / Pandora

The Chapel is one of the world's external destinations.

04 / Jesus

He has an Australian accent. The second joint or glass of wine is the timed trigger for exploding bodies.

The archived V2 Chapel file says two lifelines per run; Brett later ruled one lifeline in two religious framings. The current contract needs his explicit final confirmation.
