Sounds pretty trippy, huh?
This is Child of Eden, the luminous new game from the Japanese auteur Tetsuya Mizuguchi and one of the most inspirational exhibits of artistry to be found in interactive entertainment today. The game — available now for the Xbox 360 and scheduled to arrive for the PlayStation 3 in September — was developed by Q Entertainment (of which Mr. Mizuguchi was a founder) and published by Ubisoft.
In the quest for commercial success, so many games (like so much of any medium) end up similar. The formulas are known, the structures accepted. For many top games the question becomes how well they fulfill and execute the basic template of their genre.
Child of Eden is an example of what can happen when creativity is liberated from the bounds of convention. It hews to only the most basic form of an arcade-style shooting game (stuff is whirling around on a screen; shoot it), perhaps in the way that even rebellious painters hew to the convention of stretching canvas across a wooden frame. From there Mr. Mizuguchi goes wild, integrating music, sound and the player’s own physical movement into a full-body experience.
And that is because Child of Eden makes the best use yet of the new Kinect system for the Xbox 360. Kinect, introduced by Microsoft last fall, does away with the video game controller altogether. Using advanced technology and software, the Kinect sensor, which sits under your television, can see your body in three dimensions and recognize your voice. So in all sorts of games, you just lean if you want your character to lean. If you want it to jump, you jump, and so on.
Continue reading the main storyIn this game you use your hands to control pointers on the screen to direct your fire. After a few minutes of adjustment it feels completely natural. But the beauty is not merely in the controls; it’s in how those controls draw you into what feels like a transformation. (You can also play with a traditional controller, but that completely misses the point.)
When Kinect was introduced, it was immediately clear that the system could usher in a wave of innovative games accessible to a vast majority of people who can’t deal with a complicated controller covered with buttons, triggers and sticks. With Kinect you don’t hold anything.

But that wave of great Kinect games has not been so immediate. Until now the system has been distinguished by a litany of dance and exercise titles. In most of these the program displays a dance move or exercise pose, then grades how well you perform it. That’s fun as far as it goes, but it isn’t especially interesting or creative, which is why you haven’t been reading about many Kinect games around here.
As a matter of visual and audio design, Child of Eden is an aesthetic triumph. The psychedelic graphics envelop you as you delve into the Internet of the future, where Lumi’s soul dwells. As in Mr. Mizuguchi’s previous games Rez and Lumines, the music is not a soundtrack merely accompanying the action. Rather, the mixture of electronica beats and Japanese pop by the collective Genki Rockets is an integral part of the game play, shifting in time with the player’s action.
What Child of Eden truly elicits is a form of synesthesia, the neurological crossing of the senses to produce a new feeling or effect. Think of “cool jazz” or “warm color” or “pungent image” or “sweet sound.” The genius of Child of Eden is its blending of movement, sound and visuals to create an artistic experience.
That all said, Child of Eden is short. Once you get the hang of it, you can blow through the entire basic game in little more than an hour. (It did, however, take me and some friends around five hours to get through it our first time.)
In the game world something this short is akin to a 15-minute feature film. But what if those were some of the most mind-blowing minutes you had experienced in a theater? What if after 15 minutes you felt as if you wanted to find a quiet place to digest what you had experienced? What if you felt completely sated — that any more right away would be unnecessary overload?
In that case 15 minutes might feel just about perfect, which is not too far from the truth about Child of Eden.

Eternal Eden is a trialware RPG created by Elder/Blossomsoft using RPG Maker VX, and is very loosely based on The Bible.
The story begins in Eden, where immortality reigns. Everything that anyone could ever need or want is provided for, and everyone can live an immortal life of perfect peace and harmony, with one condition: don't eat the forbidden fruit. But, one fateful day, one of the children disobeys that one rule, and the world is plunged into darkness. It is then up to the main characters to find a way to restore their Paradise.

A direct sequel, Eternal Eden: Ecclesia was announced shortly after the game's release, but soon entered Development Hell. In 2015, Blossomsoft announced that the sequel chapter would be cancelled, and the story planned for it would be incorporated into the reboot of the original title, which is currently in development.
Despite the similar name, it has nothing to do with Eden Eternal, the Taiwanese F2P MMORPG.

Eden Visual Novel
The game provides examples of:
- Baleful Polymorph: The Princess was transformed into a hideous beast after she unwittingly ate the forbidden Wisdom fruit.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Downey was captured by Elvira and brainwashed to turn against the heroes.
- Cosmic Retcon: After the Final Boss is defeated, the universe is reset to the events before the conflict started.
- Crapsack World: The World of Shadows is a barren, desolate version of the World of Light. Most, if not all, of the major villains reside there.
- Dark-Skinned Blond: Of sorts. Fierro has black skin and white hair, presumably to Foreshadow that he is actually from the World of Shadows.
- Discount Lesbians: Joelle is engaged to Linette, but since fairies don't actually have genders, they don't technically qualify as lesbians, even if they both look female and are referred to in female pronouns.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Jean looks so feminine that Fierro refuses to believe that he is not a girl. He is also the only guy in the party who can equip the Sexy Corset and, in fact, must wear it to lure out the Caitsith.
- Forbidden Fruit: There's only one rule in Eden: do not eat the Wisdom Fruits. When this law is broken, the entire world is plunged in darkness.
- Girl-on-Girl Is Hot: Inverted. Downey expresses disgust when Joelle reveals her engagement to Linette.
- Happily Adopted: Fierro cares enough for his adoptive family that he's willing to trade the Orb of Courage to save his sister.
- Harmless Villain: Some monsters from the Bounty expedition qualifies -
- The Caitsith has 1 HP and dies instantly. It does have a rather... unique requirement to find, though.
- Odin only has 10 HP. Even the official walkthrough states that it's no fun to fight.
- Headbutting Heroes: Downey and Jean are constantly at odds with each other due to their romantic rivalry for the Princess.
- Hidden Depths: Despite being a narcissistic, egocentric jerk, Jean is actually quite smart. For instance, when he and Downey were duelling for the Princess' favour he was the one to realize that it was a trap, and the 'Princess' is actually Elvira in disguise. Downey later admits that Jean is much wiser than he is.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: The boss in the Video Game Tutorial will defeat you. It also happens to be the game's Final Boss, so it's kind of a given.
- Identity Amnesia: Josefine is afflicted with this when the party first met her. This was why she failed to recognize Elvira as her sister.
- In-Universe Game Clock: The Turtle Island has a day/night system to add the turtle hunt challenge, as certain breeds of turtle can only be found in one half of the day.
- Luke, I Am Your Father:
- Ruby, the villain who is after the second orb is revealed to be Fierro's real father.
- Josefine also discovers, after regaining her memories, that Elvira is her sister.
- Magic Music: Joelle uses music to heal, buff the party, debuff enemies, etc.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The whole conflict started when one of the protagonist decided to take the forbidden Fruit of Wisdom.
- No Biological Sex: According to Joelle, fairies are actually sexless, even though they all look female.
- Offscreen Romance: The game's epilogue shows that Fierro is engaged to Josefine, even though their interactions prior to the scene never hinted at romance. The justification for this is that the epilogue takes place after a Cosmic Retcon, and the two characters would probably have a romantic build-up in this new continuity (which the protagonist, and the audience, don't get to see).
- Pinball Protagonist: Noah appears to be a mostly passive character who only got caught in the conflict because of his best friend Downey's antics. Ultimately subverted. Downey is actually a manifestation of Noah that his subconscious created to cover up his misdeeds.
- Really 700 Years Old: Pretty much everyone who live in Eden, since everyone is immortal. The story begins with the main characters celebrating their Princess' 900th birthday.
- Reality Warper: The universe in which the game takes place is apparently created by Noah to cover up the truth that he was the one who ate the Wisdom Fruit and unleashed the chaos.
- Redemption Equals Death: The only way to free Downey from Elvira's brainwashing is to kill him.
- Required Party Member: ALL of them. Every single playable character is integral to the plot in some ways, and since one member always leaves/dies before the next one is introduced, you will never have an inactive party member.
- Ret Gone: Downey does not appear in the Epilogue. Granted, being a manifestation of Noah's guilt, he doesn't technically exist, and is thus erased from the 'true' reality.
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Josefine, an amnesiac Vampire Hunter who helped the heroes confront Elvira, and eventually face the Big Bad with them.
- You Killed My Father: The reason why Josefine is so hell-bent to hunt down Elvira is because the latter killed the former's master.
