Catechumen PC

Rome had long been a land of persecution towards the minorities, particularly that of the Christian minority. Persecution reached its epitome under the rule of Caesar Nero. The Christians had little that they could do against the Roman government, but to have faith in God, and pray. Christian persecution had escalated until Roman spies would infiltrate the Christian churches, bringing the Roman authorities with them. Darkness was settling over Christianity, evil in nature and threatening to destroy the Christian religion only a few centuries after Christ founded it at the cross. To defend themselves, Christians created a recruitment policy that required brothers seeking the Lord to study the Word for a year before undergoing baptism and partaking in communion. During this time, Christians in training were known as Catechumen.

Catechumen is a first person action/adventure Christian game where your goal is to defeat the forces of evil, descending deeper into the depths of the Earth and rescue your captured brethren.

Choose from eight powerful spiritual weapons. Each weapon has its own unique use. Maximize your firepower by learning each weapon’s abilities. Find the lightning sword, the drill sword, the explosive staff and more.

Encounter Satan’s minions and banish them back to their evil realm. Evil lurks everywhere you turn. With your Sword of the Spirit in hand, you must confront the demons head on and show them nothing can overcome the power of the Holy Spirit.

Restore your spiritual health by finding scrolls containing God’s Word. In Catechumen, you survive by faith. When your faith gets too low, pick up the many scrolls scattered across the lands to renew your faith and continue your journey.

Descend deeper and deeper into the depths of the underworld. Your journey will take you into the very heart of evil, through 18 hand-crafted, highly detailed levels. Each level you visit is unique and each has its secrets you must uncover.

Rescue your captured Christian brethren. Your mentor and some of his flock have been taken hostage by the evil Roman Empire, controlled by Satan himself. The forces of evil and darkness will claim a great victory if he does not survive! Take up this quest and fight for the Lord!
