I want to think this is a hoax or a joke, but I have a horrible feeling it's not:

Only in the United States. Only in the United States. More on this as I find more out.

It was featured on Fr. Roderick's Daily Breakfast podcast this morning. Good discussion of why the whole 'End Times' thing is abhorrent to Catholics, as well.

I read a couple articles about it on a gaming site a couple weeks ago. I don't think it's a hoax.

The link is down, but I could guess...

It always amazed me the level of anti-Catholic feelings in the US. "Land of the Free?" ah...maybe not.

I'm no fan of the Roman Catholic Church. I had big problems with them, what with their harbouring Pedophiles, like my former Parish Priest, and another Priest who was a councilor at school telling me it was OK for my dad to beat up on me since God said it was OK because I was supposed to do whatever my father said, and be punished if I didn't.

But there is a difference between the Church, and those who are members of it. And attacking the members is as hateful as attacking anyone else simply for their religion.

I find it highly ironic how Evangelical lunatics harp on video game violence as promoting immorality and violence and cruelty...and then they go and make a game like this.

Every so often, a stupid fringe group tries to make a game like this. Normally they get a lot of hype on the news (which is what they want), but nothing really happens. Most of the time the game never even gets published.

The game engine I work on actual has a "no genocide" rule in its licensing because of A-Holes like this. Anybody know which engine they are using? Unless they are doing the core engine themselves (unlikely), somebody may want to know what somebody is doing with their license.

They aren't a joke but, as garpu said, it still might be vaporware. They've a nice lil website with trailers of the proposed games that haven't worked for a while. All in all, I doubt their ability to produce a high quality, "best selling" PC game. Heck, even 12 year olds can (and do) code crappy PC games.

Still, I'm curious where they are gonna go with this idea and how they could pull off a bizarre Christian video game with killing/murder in the name of God. Talk about taking God's name in vain, Geez.
