Designed by the team that created the original Tomb Raider, Project Eden is a squad-based action/adventure featuring strategic puzzle solving, tactical use of equipment and innovative character interaction.
The player may switch instantly between 1st and 3rd person viewpoints; the 1st person viewpoint allows the character to see torso and feet as well as a realtime shadow.

Taking control over a team of four characters, gameplay is either single player or up to four player network. An internet (deathmatch) version is also planned. The gameplay mechanic requires the player to consider each team members' specific attributes and capabilities, but the team must always work together to progress through increasingly sinister and complex environments.
