Beyond the website, themes from Clive Barker’s Jericho have been explored further in video, available to view online...
The Jericho of the game’s title refers to the Jericho Team, a seven-man strike force that protects government interests from paranormal threats. Trained in conventional warfare each team member is an expert in different para-psychological disciplines, including clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic and exorcism.
Taking the disciplines of exorcism, telekinesis and pyromania three eerie and disturbing clips were produced and leaked out under the guise of being discovered by a 34 year old American, named John. These digitised clips were ‘apparently’ part of a collection of over 2,000 hours of film and video unearthed by the individual somewhere in the USA; posing the question - ‘real of unreal?’
View the three clips and a never before seen fourth one at www.youtube.com/strangeexperiments.
Clive Barker’s Jericho will launch in Autumn 2007 for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox™ 360 videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC.

This game is looking really good so far, and will be available to U.S. gamers this October.
