The world has become massively overpopulated. The rapidly
expanding network society has been crippled by rising crime rates
and is on the verge of meltdown.

A new system, ‘Project-K’, has been created in an attempt to resolve
the situation. At the core of the system is an artificial intelligence
center named ‘Eden’.

Eden has more advanced A.I. than any machine that has ever
previously existed. It has the ability to process vast amounts of
information at once, and to use that information to form its own
uniquely advanced independent thoughts. Some would say that Eden
has even developed a consciousness.

However, Eden became confused when the flow of information being
sent to it began to greatly increase in speed and volume. Eden started
to question the meaning of its existence and the consequences of its
actions. Finding itself surrounded by paradoxes, and realizing the
power of autonomy which it possessed, Eden began to shut itself down.

Now you are about to travel into the cyberspace of the Project-K
Network on a mission to re-awaken Eden. You must gain access to
each area and level of the system, destroying any Viruses and
Firewalls you encounter.

Open your senses...

Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according
to the instructions in its instruction manual. Make sure the MAIN

remove accessories once the power is turned on.

Now turn the console ON by pressing the MAIN POWER switch and

PLEASE NOTE: the information in this manual was correct at the time
of going to print, but some minor changes may have been made late in
the game’s development. All screenshots for this manual have been
taken from the English version of this game, and some screenshots
might have been taken from pre-completion screens that differ slightly
from those in the finished game.

PLEASE NOTE: throughout this manual, the term ‘Memory Card’ is
used to describe the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) ­(product code SCPH-10020 E). Memory Cards (SCPH-1020 E)
designed for use with PlayStation® (PS one™) format software
are not compatible with this game.

game data from the inserted Memory Card, or any Memory Card
