Clive Barker's Jericho is a horror first-person shooter video game developed by MercurySteam and Alchemic Productions and published by Codemasters.

The game also features several quick time events where the player must press the corresponding buttons or keys shown on screen in order to successfully survive.

The character the player originally controls is a psychic healer (medic) with the ability to fully heal fallen comrades that are close to death.

These layers would entrap pieces of history within its walls, from the time of the ancient Sumerians to World War II.

Once inside, they must battle the souls of those who have breached the Box in the past; a Nazi officer, a fallen Catholic priest from the Middle Ages, a depraved Roman Governor, and six ancient Sumerian priests (Ninlil and Ki, Inanna and Enlil as well as Nanna and Utu, who were the first to banish the Firstborn but ultimately fell victim to its corruption).

Traveling into the Firstborn's cavern, they find the creature in the middle of an island on a lake, with Leach bound to a nearby wall.

Leach breaks free of his bonds; angered at the Firstborn's betrayal, he grabs it and carries it to a tunnel of light, causing the cavern to collapse.

[8] Official Xbox Magazine praised the choice of characters, being "endless fun to switch tactics and experiment with different combinations of powers and weapons for crowd control".

IGN stated: "If the Jericho members' intelligence level wasn't enough of a nuisance for you, there's the actual shooting itself";[14] Jolt Online Gaming commented that the maps were too linear and close.

[22] Despite this, GamePro gave the Xbox 360 version a score of 4.5 out of 5, saying that the game's "slick style, amazing graphics, and dark atmosphere really make it stand out".
