From Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of the visually stunning Rez, comes the rhythm action game Child of Eden. Filled with eye candy, an ethereal environment and pulsating music Child of Eden was named “Game of the Show” by Eurogamer at last years E3.
Child of Eden thrusts you in the center of a battle to save Project Lumi, a mission to reproduce a human personality inside Eden, the archive of all human memories. As the project nears completion, the archive is invaded by an unknown virus. The Player’s mission is to save Eden from the virus to restore hope and peace.
