Amen: The Awakening was a narrative driven first-person shooter/role-playing video game with some stealth elements by Cavedog Entertainment. It was to be the first FPS by Cavedog. 60% completed, it was canceled in 2000 for a variety of reasons, one of which being that its overall scope and proprietary game engine was far too ambitious, given computer hardware of the time.[1]
Story
On Christmas Eve 2032, "The Awakening" happens. Over 4 billion humans go on a murderous rampage. In the ensuring chaos, planes crash, cities burn and millions are dead. In order to stop the rampage of the "Afflicted" the European Resistance Organization is formed in Western Europe to create a "Safe-Zone" where those who are not contaminated with the disease can live in harmony.
