The esoteric current chosen as the object of study is Theosophy. Through the theological confrontation, the dissertation discusses how Theosophy and Christianity defend totally different and incompatible doctrinal concepts. It will be demonstrated that video games are not devoid of religious ideology, even those who apparently use Christian symbols but actually have in themselves a different cloaked religious message that is harder to discover at first time. / A presente disserta??o tem como objetivo identificar criticamente os elementos das doutrinas defendidas pelo esoterismo presentes na literatura, na m?sica e, de modo particular, em video games. A corrente esot?rica escolhida como objeto de estudo ? a teosofia. Por meio do confronto teol?gico, a disserta??o discute como a teosofia e o cristianismo defendem conceitos doutrin?rios totalmente diferentes e incompat?veis. Demonstrar-se-? que os jogos de video game n?o est?o desprovidos de ideologia religiosa, mesmo aqueles que, aparentemente, utilizam s?mbolos crist?os, mas que, na verdade, t?m em si uma diferente mensagem religiosa camuflada e mais dif?cil de ser descoberta em primeiro momento.
