The Aftermath of Judgement - Story Outline

The story of my game sets itself in between events of the group film. Need to edit certain areas for continuity.

The story begins after the main character, Ben's father Frank has been captured by the Imperium soldiers. Ben is left a note detailing that they will kill his father if he does not surrender the video diaries to Imperium. A map is enclosed with the note and Ben is forced to follow the directions that lead him to an abandoned warehouse. As he enters the warehouse he sees a huge complex in the center, surrounded by giant pitfalls and only one passage to follow. 

Ben continues down the path and proceeds to enter the complex, unbeknownst to him that he is being watched by the Imperium member who captured his father from above. As he continues following the path Ben comes into a dark clearing, which lights up to show a spacious room, with 3 words surrounded by the colours red, grey and blue. A loudspeaker gets turned on and Ben hears the Imperium member explain the situation to him, which is if he answers the questions in the right order he will get his father back. This comes with a consequence however, he must surrender the video diaries if he wants to get his father back...alive. Ben accepts these terms and walks down to the edge of the room, seeing 3 doorways with 3 words above them. Ben looks down at the floor and notices a question that he must answer by walking through one of the doors. This is the general basis of the game, and is the running theme to follow throughout. 

As Ben continues through the complex however, the colour of the complex will change between the different colours that are shown above the doors. These resemble the choices he has made and how this will affect the consequences of the endgame. The 3 different endings are as follows:

• Blue Ending – This is resembled as the 'good' ending and will be activated if you choose to go through a certain number of blue doors. In this ending, Ben makes it to the final chamber and Frank is led in the middle of the room, unconscious. The Imperium member shows up  from a lift behind Frank and demands Ben to give him the video diaries. After all that Ben has been through he realises that his father would not want him to give up the tapes, and so he refuses and tries to valiantly take on the Imperium member, all to no avail. The mysterious man quickly pulls out a gun and fires at Ben, immediately killing him while he takes Frank into the lift, leaving Ben's dead body in the dark recesses of the complex. 

• Grey Ending – The grey ending symbolizes 'neutrality' and thus is the neutral ending, being activated by going through the grey doors throughout the game. Ben gets to the final chamber, seeing Frank in the middle of the room aswell. The Imperium member appears and asks for the video diaries, in which Ben gives to him in exchange for his father's life. Ben feels reluctant that he finally got his father back, and he runs over to help him, in which he is waking up now. Before Frank can say anything, The Imperium member shoots Frank and he falls to the floor, lifeless. He quickly gets away in the lift and Ben is left to drag his father's dead body out of the complex, vowing his revenge against the mysterious group. This is the true ending to the game, and the events from this particular ending are continued in the film.

• Red Ending – The red ending symbolizes the 'evil' side to Ben, but doesn't necessarily mean it was for evil intentions. Ben gets to the final chamber and is immediately confronted by the Imperium member. Instead of asking for the video diaries, the mysterious man just smiles, signifying that Ben has made the right choices throughout the complex and is willing to spare his father's life, if he became the 6^th Imperium member. Throughout the game Ben has been thinking of any possible way to keep his father alive, so he reluctantly accepts the gracious offer and is taken up the elevator with the man, metaphorically giving his own life in exchange for his fathers.
