I’m a licensed minister, so I’m always on the lookout for video games that explore anything Biblical. There isn’t much, and some things are a bit more mystical than my liking, but in discovering Gate Zero via an ad on Facebook, I’m intrigued. Gate Zero takes place during the times of Christ in Jerusalem. It will also allow for multiple players using a mobile phone connected to a PC, which is a neat way to allow for several friends to be able to enjoy. A Kickstarter is imminent, along with a reservation option on their site to have your name in the game. Check out the info and dev logs below!
Gate Zero is a story-rich adventure that takes you back in time to 1st century Israel to uncover an age-old secret.
Discover the history and culture of ancient Israel as you freely roam the streets of Jerusalem, Capernaum and surrounding areas, picking up missions and items along the way. Gather resources to help the locals and avoid danger by using your gear and stealth abilities. Unlock riddles after every mission to get one step closer to solving your grandmother’s mystery. Witness history unfold as you interact with familiar characters and get involved with their stories.
Play solo or connect mobile phones to the PC and turn a single-player game into a unique couch co-op experience.
Story
The game starts out in the year 2072 in the dystopian world of Terrapolis. You and your cousin Hector receive a cryptic mission from your eccentric late grandmother. She offers the chance to win her whole inheritance if you unlock the secrets of her mysterious “pearl.” You and Hector decide to solve this mystery by going back to the source in his time machine, Gate Zero.
