Earth's population has grown, and because of this, humongous skyscrapers have been erected. The rich and average live in these skyscrapers, while the poor, deranged, illegal and criminals live at the very bottom, in the scummy area. The only time people go down there is to do foundation maintenance. Recently, a team of engineers has gone missing at the "Real Meat Factory", and the Urban Protection Agency (UPA) team is sent in.
Project Eden is a 3D shooter with an emphasis on puzzle-solving. The player takes control of four UPA agents: Carter Dorlan, Andre Herderman, Minoko Molensky, and Amber Torrelson. Each of the protagonists has his or her own special ability, which must be frequently used to solve puzzles and advance in the game. Carter can interview suspects and open locked doors; Andre uses a special Omnitool to repair broken equipment or machinery; Minoko can hack into computer terminals, accessing information and controlling cannons, robots, tanks, and other machines; Amber can shoot pulse laser bolts and missiles, and is unaffected by hazards such as flames, poison gas, electricity, cold temperatures, etc.
Problem-solving in the game often involves cooperation between characters. Shooting can be done from either first- or third-person perspective. The game also contains a multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players in a cooperative or deathmatch game.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a dystopian sci-fi adventure game where players assume the role of an Urban Protection Agency officer investigating mysterious malfunctions and disappearances in the lower levels of a sprawling, overpopulated mega-city. Players will explore a dark, multi-tiered urban environment, uncovering a sinister plot within its depths.
Story
The World
Due to severe overpopulation, the planet Earth's diameter is increasing with the growth of towering mega-cities, each inhabited by millions of humans. Buildings are growing ever-upwards, interconnected with a thick web of roads, walkways and service channels.
In these giant human hives, only the affluent may feel the rays of the sun and breathe the cleaner air. Descending thousands of feet through the echelons, conditions steadily decline to slum level.
The inhabitants of these squalid areas barely glimpse the murky sunlight that filters through the dense infrastructure above. Below the slums lie even more repugnant conditions: an underworld occupied by criminals, cultists, the wretched and deranged.
Assumed derelict, the very lowest of these areas is visited only by structural engineering teams when foundations require strengthening - in order to accommodate yet further elevations.
The UPA
These Cities are Policed by the UPA (Urban Protection Agency). One such team is called in to investigate problems at the 'Real Meat' factory, in which all the equipment has started to simultaneously malfunction.
Technicians sent to repair the machinery have gone missing without explanation. Here begins The UPA's sinister trail of inquiry.
Enemies & Characters
Carter
A 36-year-old male UPA Squad Leader with extensive experience, serious and in-command. He is not looking forward to retirement.
Minoko
A 20-year-old female from the UPA Tech Division, an orphan with high aptitude in computers and hacking. She is young, cheerful, and optimistic with limited field experience.
Andre
A 32-year-old male from the UPA Engineering Division, a skilled engineer with a natural ability to understand and repair mechanical and electrical systems. He joined the UPA at 25 looking for excitement.
Amber
A 27-year-old female from the UPA Cyborg Division who suffered horrific injuries and chose to become a 'Metal Head'. She has become increasingly withdrawn and machine-like, capable of operating in hazardous environments.
Control
A 48-year-old male, a retired field operative who serves as the 5th member of Carter's squad. He is experienced and serious, having worked with Carter many times before.

Players can join after the game starts by pressing the START button on a free pad. The screen will split, and they will be assigned a free character automatically.
If a Multitap (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately) is plugged into either controller port, up to three additional players may join the original Single player game.
Any player may quit their game by pressing the Start button and exiting through the SYSTEM MENU. Refer to the SYSTEM MENU text for a full description.
CONFIGURATION MENU
Within this Menu, you can configure the following settings:
CONTROLS
Selecting this option allows you to configure up to eight user profiles. You can also name each profile, which will be adopted as your game name in Deathmatch mode.
Once reconfiguration is complete, press the Button to confirm and return to the CONFIGURATION MENU. You will then be prompted to save your configuration; follow the on-screen prompts.
AUDIO/VISUAL
Selecting this option allows configuration of your Audio/Visual settings if you wish to amend the default settings. The following options are available:
•
Aspect Ratio: Change the display window shape.
•
Split: Select the method of splitting the screen in 2-player mode, for example, horizontal or Vertical (Default). Note that 3 players or above will result in the screen being automatically quartered regardless of this setting.
•

When starting a multiplayer game, character selection occurs on the CHARACTER SELECTION screen. You will only be able to switch between characters in-game while they are not being used by another player.
