because abrahamic religions are autistic about portraying their deities, so you're left with their mythos not really being used for vidya whereas every greek, roman and shinto god and goddess has like 5 vns dedicated to them each
personally I'd make a game about saint brigid transforming her cloak into magic weapons but that's just me

Medieval and Renaissance art of dragons was a mistake.

Because most of them lived a pious life (e.g. pretty fucking boring shit) and then were executed in some horrific way for refusing to chain their tepid ways.

Saint George is one of the very, VERY few exceptions, most because unlike most other saint stories, it's not actually a church legend, but rather, a adoption of a wide-spread folklore story repurposed to serve the church - it's not in any way based on an actual person.

The best ideas for a saint-based game I can think off is a stealth game about Saint Nicholas (basically a reverse thief: you sneak around and break into people's houses to drop valuables in there), and the story of Saint Theresa of Avila being a full on comedy VN, featuring Theresa as your token silly and stupid manic pixie girl getting herself into absurd high jinx (read Theresa's story, it's actually fucking hilarious).

I also very vaguelly remember one Saint story about a guy who was actually just scamming the living shit out Indian rulers (at one point, he took massive amounts of money pretending to be an achitect and promising the Indian king the most beautiful and impressive castle ever build, only to spend all of the money among the poorest people. When asked "where is that castle you promised", he replied: "I've build you the most beautiful castle imaginable: A castle in the heaven itself!"

He got executed for that.

So yeah, those are your average catholic saint stories, really. Entertaining, but not exactly gameplay material.
