- DESCRIPTION -
Project Eden is a video game for the PC and PlayStation 2 released in 2001. It is a hybrid
between first- and third-person shooter with an emphasis on teamwork and puzzle solving
over combat. Players switch between control of four UPA (Urban Protection Agency) agents,
each with their own special abilities, as they work their way through a city that has grown
upward and upward, leaving delving buildings and neighborhoods "below city limits.". Among
other unique mechanics of Project Eden is the fact that player characters don't die; instead,
they are respawned at the last checkpoint, where their health is fully restored. With its
emphasis on puzzle-solving over combat, the game may be thought of as a cyberpunk
updating of The Lost Vikings, as it has more in common with that game developed by
Blizzard Entertainment than traditional first- or third-person shooters. A single player can
control any of the four characters at any given time, and other players can jump in at any time
and assume control of team members.
- PLOT -
The game starts with UPA agents Carter, Andre, Minoko and Amber heading below city limits
to find two technicians missing from the Real Meat Company (a corporation that produces
organic meat, because most of the food in that world is synthetically made). The suspicions of
the team revolve around a local and dangerous gang named The Death Heads. The UPA
team tracks the gang down to their base in St. Lucia's Church; but on their way, the gang
members and many animals also start mutating into strange creatures....
