Gate Zero‘s Bible exploration video game is making waves as it launched its Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday, June 6. The response has been nothing short of extraordinary, with the funding goal of $200,000 being achieved within 79 hours. As the campaign enters its final week, Gate Zero has now raised over $272,000 thanks to the support of more than 3,200 backers.
Gate Zero offers a captivating and story-rich experience that takes players on a journey back in time to the historical world of 1st-century Israel. Through immersive gameplay, players can interact with gospel stories, delving deeper into the profound meaning behind the words of Jesus.
Arve Solli, the producer and designer of Gate Zero, explains the vision behind the game, stating, “Our goal is to transport players back to the source, allowing them to experience the timeless message of Jesus in a modern and immersive way.”
The game has garnered significant attention from various outlets within the Christian community. Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) featured Gate Zero on their show 700 Club Interactive on June 6. Recently, Faithwire highlighted the game’s unique concept. Gate Zero’s innovative approach has been embraced by prominent Christian content creators and gaming ministries, including the widely recognized LoveThyNerd.com. The gaming site lauds the game, stating, “Gate Zero draws inspiration from the timeless stories of the Bible and weaves together faith, mystery, and revelation into an enthralling narrative.”
Gate Zero has cultivated a strong following across social media platforms. Hundreds of supportive comments pour in daily from a diverse Christian audience. The game’s ability to provide a high-quality, immersive experience that enables youth to engage with the Bible in an interactive way has resonated deeply with players. Furthermore, Gate Zero’s potential as a missionary tool has also been acknowledged. With over 150,000 followers and subscribers across all platforms and an astounding 10 million views on TikTok alone, the game has captured the attention of a wide audience.
Arve emphasizes the team’s unwavering belief in the power of gaming as a medium to engage, educate, and inspire today’s youth. The team recognizes the concerning decline in biblical literacy and aims to counteract this trend through Gate Zero.
Arve shares, “Kids simply don’t know or aren’t interested in the Bible, and our prayer is that this project will help change that trajectory. We are confident that Gate Zero will provide a compelling and entertaining way for young adults to encounter Scripture in a new and transformative manner.”
Gate Zero’s Kickstarter success and the overwhelming support it has received demonstrate the appetite for meaningful and immersive experiences that bridge the gap between faith and modern entertainment. As the campaign reaches its conclusion, the future of Gate Zero is poised to make a lasting impact on how young adults engage with Scripture, fostering a renewed passion for biblical knowledge and exploration.
