Consider Druidica, a Minecraft-like nature game designed to restore damaged ecosystems and preserve indigenous knowledge.

或者是Walkabout，这是一款类似《腐蚀》的生存游戏，鼓励玩家分享技能、相互依赖，相互帮助，传达《圣经》中的宽容和同情。
Or perhaps Temple, a pray-to-earn game, linked to a network of nondenominational meditation spaces where players can perform coordinated acts of care to level up on the good works board.
或者Temple，一个祈祷赚钱的游戏，它提供一个无宗教冥想空间网络，玩家可以在那里组织关爱活动，提高善行榜上的等级。
A kind of, decentralized church of kindness, powered maybe by HOLY coin.
