Tribulation Knights, the Christian Game Will Be Released in 2010

We may see some religious groups complaining about video games and violence, but it looks like, if Christian Rock can exist, then so can Christian Video Games. While most of your minds just flew with the speed of light to Dante's Inferno and its Mass: We Pray, it looks like this isn't just some publicity stunt and Tribulation Knights will actually be a game series. The title follows the Biblical interpretations of the book of Revelations and it's an indie one, being written, produced, and developed by John Nelson.

In the close future, several global disasters take place at the same time, leaving the planet in a state of turmoil and chaos. As the world crumbles to dust, a single politician manages to rise from the rubble and tries to restore some order. While he does manage to recreate the core foundations of modern society, but on a smaller scale, the thing he requires of his new citizens is submission. In order to enjoy the rewards of civilized life in this apocalyptic scenario, people must subject themselves to implantation.

“This is the integration of a bio adhering technology that permanently modifies a person. At that point they are forever tracked, monitored, and controlled. Their Brain functions actually change along with their DNA, and it is irreversible.” Those that refuse the process are labeled “rebels” and retain their freedom and individuality, but lose the opportunity of a more civilized way of life, as they “are not allowed to buy, or sell food, own a home, or receive the protection of the new police force, only known as Enforcers.”

Players will take part in what could be called an underground movement that will try to help and protect these individuals. Knights, as you are known yourself, make use of non-lethal weapons and techniques to achieve their goal, so all is kosher with the Christian theme of the game. An unneeded detail as most might agree, since the Church and religions in general are known for being very physical and very lethal when it comes to dealing with the “nonbelievers.” The first game of the series is expect to be released in the second quarter of 2010, with a more exact date to be announced as we get closer to the actual launch.
