Ominous Horizons: A Paladin's Calling

Ominous Horizons: A Paladin's Calling is a 2001 first-person shooter game with Christian themes developed and published by N'Lightning Software Development. It casts the player as the Johannes Gutenberg's assistant, who must travel the world to retrieve the Gutenberg Bible master copy, which had been stolen by one of Satan's minions. The player uses three weapons with interchangeable ammunition and can collect Bible verses to restore their health. Ominous Horizons is the successor to 2000's Catechumen. With a budget of $1.6 million, Ominous Horizons was the most expensive Christian video game. It was released in September 2001 to negative reviews, with criticism directed at its game engine, gameplay, level design, animations, dialog, and voice acting. Only the enemy designs and music were received positively. The game sold 50,000 copies and was N'Lightning's last release.
