Clive Barker's Jericho is a squad-based action horror game based on an original concept and story by acclaimed horror writer and film maker Clive Barker.

In Jericho, the player assumes the role of the leader of a seven man Special Forces strike team that protects US interests from paranormal threats. Each member of the squad is an expert in modern warfare and different parapsychological disciplines, such as clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic, exorcism, etc.

An ancient evil has broken through into our world and is threatening to spread its taint across the whole of the earth unless it's stopped. At ground zero lies the Middle Eastern city of Al-Khali, a modern city built atop the ancient ruins of a dozen previous conquerors. All attempts with contacting the doomed citizens of the city have failed. With tensions already running high in the region, this is just the sort of thing that could trigger the Apocalypse...

Jericho is played from the first-person perspective as the Jericho Team moves through labyrinthine streets, alleys and structures, encountering horrific armies from the mind of Clive Barker.

The player leads the Jericho Team into the flaming ruins of the city, moving block by block towards the dimensional rift at its heart. Along the way, they encounter the hellish denizens that now rule the city and corrupt everything they touch. As the player gets closer to the source of the evil, he will have to rely less and less on traditional weapons and instead on the combined psychic talents of his team mates.
