Eon of Tears: The Bible Code

Eon of Tears: The Bible Code is a cancelled Xbox and PC game Evillusion, Inc. It was to be a survival-horror RPG loosely based on the Bible.

Plot
You are a teenager with schizophrenia who believes there is a secret code within the Bible. Those who understand the code are granted almost divine powers. Then he unwillingly does astral project to live out the lives of these Biblical figures.

Gameplay
You could play as Jesus, Moses, Cain or an evil angel named Metatron. Interact with angels and demons and live through these past lives. At the end of the game is the Apocalypse.

You can choose to be good or evil with these characters. Except Jesus; he's permanent a good guy and can't do evil things. You also travel with two companions and can switch them in and out your party.

The game was multi-linear but has linear plot progression for each character. Events that occur range from Jesus' death and resurrection, Mose's Plagues of Egypt, and more. Since the game is loosely based on the Bible, there are non-canon scenarios.

Combat was going to be a mix of real-time and turn-based. It was predominantly real-time but you can pause and give instructions turn-based style. Being an RPG you get loot and experience points for battle victories.

You can allocate XP points to develop your character as you see fit. Your skills would level up as you use them.

Magic was also in the mix, even for non-godly figures. Instead of mana you use Faith.

There was to be an online marketplace to use the credits currency. Despite this system there was no plans of multiplayer, offline or online.

Cancellation
Eon of Tears was cancelled around 2005 or 2006 after years of stagnation. Evillusion went defunct without publishing a single game.
