Despite Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas taking place in the 3D Universe and the other games the Epsilon program is mentioned are in the HD Universe, the founder of Epsilon, Cris Formage is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In 1992, Cris Formage interviews podcast host, Lazlow Jones about his cause with Epsilon, with the cult being mocked by the podcast hosts.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
On the streets, there are several hobos who claim that aliens are attempting to take their sperm and will cry "Oh no! They've killed another truth seeker!" along with random soapboxers ranting about paradise and about slaves being damned to hell. And celebrities, Blusey St. John and Brandon Roberts claimed to have both prayed to Kifflom. The current Epsilon Program member, Marnie Allen is also seen as a random character.
In The Lost and Damned, the website Morningwoodspa.com, will claim that a therapist named Betty "Mama Bear" Wiffleton, left her husband to join the Epsilon Program and moved to the state of San Andreas to grow closer to them as that is where Epsilon is based.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
By 2013, Michael De Santa can join the Epsilon Program as he is kidnapped by two Epsilonists after he visits their website and driving to Raton Canyon. After this, Michael meets Marnie Allen, who he deems gullible and mocks the cult after he is told that his true name is "Zolag" until they change his name to, "Zondar" for no reason. After this, Michael steals cars for them, meets more gullible cult followers and even runs around the Grand Senora Desert for them.
Eventually, Michael meets Epsilon founder, Cris Formage in which Michael helps them transport over $2,100,000 to his personal helicopter. If Michael is loyal to them, he receives a rusty tractor from Epsilon member, Jesse. If Michael betrays them (usually considered to be the canon ending), the entire Epsilon security department will chase after Michael shooting at him and chasing him. After Michael shoots down their helicopter and kills their men, Cris will call Michael swear at him, with Michael mockingly responding with "Got to go, brother-brother. Kifflom."
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
After the GTA Online Protagonist's first death, they will see a vision of Cris Formage informing the player of the Passive Mode. If the player drinks a Macbeth Whisky Shot, they will pass out and spawn in the Epsilon Temple wearing an Epsilon shirt. At one point, Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton have a marijuana deal with Epsilonsits, Marnie Allen and Jimmy Boston until it is interrupted. By 2022, The Fooligans poison the Epsilon's mind control botanical farm with a batch of acid they thought was LSD.
