If one of Elohim's children exceeds at the puzzles they've been tasked with solving, they're given the chance to give up their life and become a 'messenger', charged with aiding those who come after them.

Angelic Transformation: Occurs symbolically.

And considering the state of the real world at that point, everything in the game is relatively anachronistic anyway. Justified in the sense this is just a virtual world.

Anachronism Stew: Features like computer terminals, powered turrets and electrical switches among the ruins of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and medieval structures.
