Child of Eden is a rhythm action game created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, best known for Rez, developed by Q Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. The game announcement opened Ubisoft's pre-E3 2010 press conference and was one of the first titles shown with support for Xbox 360's Kinect peripheral. The game serves as a prequel to Mizuguchi's earlier game Rez and sees players shoot at various targets which produce melodic sounds upon destruction. It was developed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is compatible with Microsoft's Kinect, PlayStation Move and standard controllers for both consoles. In April 2011, Mizuguchi announced that he had developed a unique corset peripheral for the game, which featured four controllers, all of which vibrated to the game's music. The new device is currently only available in Q Entertainment studios, and is unlikely to see a retail release.
As was the case with Rez, Child of Eden is presented as an experiment on synesthesia, integrating sound, vision and touch in one seamless experience. The game features music from Genki Rockets.
Eden was perfection a beautiful dream
There was no pretending everything was as it seemed
But she took the lust for life delivered it to man
Caving into the lies all the hiding began
That's part, part of who I am
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
I've had Eve's eyes of jealousy and shame
And Adam's disposition to worry and to blame
But I've had days when I found more in me
Forgiveness and mercy and I was truly free
I know, I know that's who I am
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
Oh, don't let me forget where I was without You
Don't let me forget the pain that You went through
Don't let me forget that I became Yours
When You spread out Your arms for me
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child, child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
For this child of Eden
I'm a child of Eden
Child of Eden
Story doesn't end oh all right
