We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a first-person fantasy action adventure with supernatural combat
- Fans of dark ancient-Rome settings who prefer story-led exploration

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a calm or low-conflict adventure may find the confrontations with demons, beasts, and immortal enemies too intense.
- Players who prefer tightly structured, small-scale environments may not enjoy the expansive realms and labyrinthine catacombs.
- Players looking for realistic weapons may not want an arsenal based on divine powers and supernatural forces.
Our take on Catechumen
The focus on first-person combat and a supernatural arsenal leaves less room for players seeking a primarily peaceful exploration game. Its gore-free approach also trades graphic combat spectacle for a restrained presentation of battles.
What is Catechumen?
Set in 171 A.
D. , this first-person action adventure follows an initiate whose mentor and fellow believers have been imprisoned beneath ancient Rome. The player explores catacombs and other dangerous realms, confronts demons, beasts, and immortal enemies, and works to restore corrupted souls. Divine powers provide a varied arsenal for battling opponents with distinct tactics and abilities. The journey centers on a quest involving faith, possession, corruption, and a sinister conspiracy, with the player advancing deeper into the catacombs toward hell and damnation. Combat follows a pacifist, gore-free approach, while expansive levels and dynamic realms structure the adventure.
