Can you tell me a bit about the storyline?
Before Adam and Eve were created, God fashioned the Firstborn. Neither light nor dark, both terrible and beautiful to behold, it disturbed the Almighty who banished this flawed creation into the Abyss. There, it waited and watched until it was able to reach out with its power into our world. Seven Sumerian priests met its arrival and fought to contain it, successfully entombing the place of its escape within a great ziggurat. Ever since that time, there would always be a secret order that would train seven warriors to await the Firstborn's attempts to escape. They would always disappear into the ruined city of Al Khalid that had been built atop this bedrock of strife and somehow succeed in banishing the Firstborn back to the Abyss. However, none of these teams have ever returned from their Mission.
Tell me more about Jericho Squad
The Jericho Squad is a seven-man strike force that protects government interests from paranormal threats. Each member of the squad is an expert in modern warfare as well as their own different para-psychological disciplines, including clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic, exorcism, etc.
Capt. Devin Ross – the protagonist, Jericho Squad captain, team telepath and healer. At one point, Ross is killed, allowing him to possess his squadmates and control them directly.
Father Paul Rawlings – the dual-pistol-wielding priest and exorcist.
Sgt. Frank Delgado – a minigun-wielding alchemist and pyromancer with a fire-demon encased in his right arm.
Lt. Abigail Black – a telekinetic sniper who can control bullets in mid-flight, enabling multiple strikes in a single shot.
Sgt. Wilhelmina "Billie" Church – a blood mage who uses her own blood to cast spells and wards. She uses a machine pistol as her main weapon and a katana as her secondary.
Capt. Xavier Jones – a seer who uses astral projection for reconnaissance and possibly even possession of enemies.
Cpl. Simone Cole – the Jericho Squad's reality hacker who can alter time and teleport supplies and personnel.
What sort of gameplay can we expect?
Squad mechanics allow players to jump back and forth between Jericho Squad members, allowing them to use the best suited squad members in particular combat situations, at the press of a button.
Jericho Squad members can combine their paranormal powers together for even more devastating attacks.
Some paranormal abilities will come at the price of health as a gameplay mechanic to prevent the game from being unbalanced. A good example is Delgado, whose ability will cause real-time burning damage to his arm when he uses his power. Additionally, the spells of blood mage Church will require her to cut herself.
Players will traverse through multiple planes of existence during the game.
There will be three difficulty levels, Easy, Normal, and Hard.
