It's really interesting, if you're bored and want to watch something, the interview with Lorne Lanning is well worth it. There's an uncut one, but the 24-minute one is better I think as it's more concise.
I didn't realise, but the creator is essentially retelling the story of Abraham, with their own twist on it, which is something I never knew, but that's why he's called Abe. It's interesting that he took inspiration from that though, and how the entire quintology of stories is going to tell his story from a lowly slave freeing his people, to become some mythic hero and icon.
They're fun games, and I love when games come out but have a really deep world and background, even though what we're presented with initially is shallow. It's nice to know the creators have put so much thought into it behind the scenes.
