Hardcore Gamer: Call of Abraham, a third-person adventure game in which you travel across the middle-east as part of Abraham’s caravan, launched a Kickstarter campaign last month.
It was to be called “Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham,” and would have been an action-RPG in which you play one of Abraham’s buddies and get to witness all the Biblical events like Abraham killing his son and banging his handmaid. Could it be Satan? Yes! Satan. Satan conspired to make people not give them money to create a videogame. Because you know, Satan has nothing more important to do than mess with some dudes who are trying to make a videogame.
Reading through the comments below, since when did N4G users become so knowledgeable about the Christian bible? It's like as though the majority of you guys went to a Christian college and studied four years to earn a degree.
At least tell me whether the Da Vinci Code is true or false!!
It's true, Satan did this, I spoke to him this morning when I woke up, he said he would be doing the world a favour by not letting this awful game be made
if Satan sooooooo good to you why dont anyone call out his name in car crash???? or right before you die in air plane crash 100% of the time JESUS is called.
like he's going to spare your life......he want you to die for his glory, take you from Jesus.
I get a disagree for speaking the truth?? thats the devil for ya.

Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham had a tough road to face when it launched its initial Kickstarter campaign. Requesting $100,000 for development was one of many mistakes that riddled its attempt, particularly because the game looks like an unrefined Dreamcast title.
Wow, what a friggin joke. Glad these scheisters aren't getting a free pay day on the backs of exploiting religion.
Its sad b/c there are many great games that could be made if the quality is there. A.C. showed us what it could be like to walk ancient Israel. And the crusades could make for a great setting.
Honestly, if you are going to make religious games it's best to stick with allegory. I am a Christian and I think games based on Biblical events are a terrible idea. There is just not a lot of leeway for possible outcomes without offending a great number of people. Games should not dance around religion, nor should the only games that ever mention it always bash religious ideas, but games based on Biblical events are just not a good idea IMO.
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. That was a bible adage right? It wasn’t? Oh…
Well anyway, that’s the maxim that developer Phoenix Interactive seems to be living by. They recently started a Kickstarter for a brand new game called Bible Chronicles: the Call of Abraham. Yes, it’s a modern day Bible game, a genre that we all thought died out back with the NES. You’d get to relive all your favorite Bible stories, like dying as Job, or fleeing from Sodom and Gomorrah as Lot. Feel guilty for your very existence in ways you never thought you could. Experience top of the line graphics that look like they were made in Second Life’s character editor. Praise God through your controller, because that’s how religion works."
Yet again somebody uses the bible to scam people. It's a story as old as Christianity itself.
Amen brother amen.
Religion? Check. Other peoples' money? Check. Are people really surprised that a crowd-funded project of a religious nature is a scam?
I fear we'll never see a great Christian video game.
Contribute to the offering plate and you'll get a better seat for eternity. A bunch of fantasy stories fit in perfectly with a fantasy video game.
