Witchcraft pervades into all aspects of Azande life – from agriculture to hunting to domestic affairs. The occurrence of witchcraft is commonplace. A witch is not seen as a taboo but more in terms of an obstacle that must simply be dealt with. A witch arises from possessing the inherited organ, mangu which can be passed on by people of the same sex. The witch is not necessarily seen as evil, because their mangu may be doing harm without them even knowing. Once a person accused of possessing mangu earnestly shows that they have no ill will and pacify the evil within them, they are able to return to their normal lives. In a way, this contradicts what is usually seen in Western culture, where people suspected of disrupting the peace in society are ostracized, and it becomes difficult for them to reintegrate back into society. Furthermore, the normalcy of witchcraft takes away any sense of miracle or dismay from its practice. In fact, the Azande anticipate having encounters with witchcraft as it provides an explanation for any undesirable events because “witchcraft participates in all misfortunes and is the idiom in which Azande speak about them and in which they explain them” (364). Any misfortune at any time can be linked to witchcraft and is rarely explained by factors such as incompetence or failure on the part of an individual. Witchcraft is therefore an unconscious activity for the Azande.
The symbols and practices that a society attributes within its belief system are put in place to make suffering more sufferable and provide a sense of reassurance from the uncertainties of life. The priest acknowledged the role that Witchcraft played but should completely fade out whereas the chief recognized why Christianity was valuable and would stay, while also hoping that Witchcraft would not disappear.
The players encounter Pagan Min early in the game when their character, Ajay Ghale, is captured by him. Pagan Min is responsible for the death of Ajay's mother and he claims that he has a personal connection to Ajay, which adds to the complexity of their relationship throughout the game. Pagan Min is known for his extravagant and flamboyant style, often seen wearing a purple suit and sporting a unique hairstyle.

I found "Pagan min far cey" to be quite disappointing. The plot was weak and lacked coherence, and the characters were one-dimensional and poorly developed. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it hard for me to connect with the story. Additionally, the pacing was off, with the action sequences being rushed while the quieter moments dragged on. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience with this game and would not recommend it to others.

"Pagan min far cey" was a complete letdown for me. The gameplay mechanics were clunky and unreliable, often leading to frustration and unnecessary deaths. The graphics were outdated and unimpressive, making it difficult to immerse myself in the game world. Furthermore, the writing was cliché and lacked originality, failing to engage me in any meaningful way. I regret purchasing this game and would advise others to avoid it.

I had high hopes for "Pagan min far cey" but was ultimately left disappointed. The open-world aspect seemed promising, but it quickly became repetitive and dull. The missions lacked variety and often became monotonous, causing me to lose interest. The story was predictable and uninspired, failing to captivate me. While the graphics were decent, they couldn't compensate for the lackluster gameplay and unremarkable storyline. In my opinion, there are much better games out there to spend your time and money on.
