My parents got me this when I was like, four because they shrugged and figured a Christian game couldn't be too violent. More on the weird scale than the disturbing scale, and maybe not even the weirdest - but no one ever talks about it and I still think about it.
>Shitty Quake clone circa 1999
>Play as Angel
>Heaven is completely empty, not enough resources for enemies to fill the overly-huge, empty maps so there's only a scattering of demons that do not feel like they are invading in any sort of war so much as it feels like they have been left behind
>You are the only Angel present
>Literally zero music, only sound effects
>Shitty 1999 graphics and low draw distance give make it even more odd, feels like playing an empty multiplayer map
>There's architecture and murals with art and stuff. Someone BUILT this place but they are no longer present
>God never makes Himself known to you, feels like He left too.
The Hell campaign where you're a demon is equally empty but I guess it's more relieving to see Hell empty, but the angel campaign feels like Heaven got raptured and God packed His bags without you.

i would like to extend my thanks to you for posting this game. just a week ago i saw some gameplay of cruelty squad and it somehow triggered deeply buried memories of some game i had played a very long time ago - and now thanks to you i realized i was precisely remembering the war in heaven.
what really freaks me out is how this whole process happened. i was certain i'd remember the game eventually. and when i saw this thread i felt unnaturally confident that the answer would be posted here.
it's as if i was expecting a synchronicity to happen

There's something about this game man, theological Polybius.
I never expected to 'meet' anyone else who played The War In Heaven but I am not surprised that it wound up being on /x/
