Homework 3

The Tetrad

Story: Submarine (Sunk)
           
            Opens on a small boat approaching an area of water in the middle of the ocean. Fisher equips himself with goggles and a mask. The boat driver explains that this is the spot and hands fisher a distress beacon. Fisher’s objective is to get to the submarine and retrieve the data from the central lab computer, then signal for extraction and swim back to the surface. Fisher dives and descends to the sunken sub lying on the bottom of the ocean. Once Fisher has entered the submarine, he begins removing his scuba gear. A savage then attacks Fisher. During the scuffle, Fisher shoots the tank and the explosion creates a hole in the submarine. As water begins to leak into the capsized sub, Fisher kills the mutant. Fisher escapes into the bridge. Bloodstained floors and walls glisten with grisly fluids. All of the bodies are gone and the power is out. Only dim backup lights remain.
            As the game progresses, Fisher must survive by sneaking around the sub and making his way to the central lab computer. Along the way, Fisher obtains weapons to fight back against the enemies. Throughout the submarine, Fisher can also discover audiotapes and hidden files to unravel the mysterious events that took place on the submarine.

Mechanics

            Survival is a core theme of our game. The mechanics of our game will revolve around this theme. The combat will be running and hiding from an omnipresent being.

  • combat
    • shooting
    • melee
    • disabling enemies
    • stealth takedowns
    • Enemies damage the player by hitting, biting
    • Main villain can instantly kill the player
    • patching leaks
    • interacting with computers
    • listening to audio tapes
  • Enemies
    • movement
      • fast, slow, crawl
