As some of you may know, Sophie is one of my OCs that takes part in my story of Epsilon Research Facility.
Even tho I didnt made any new posts about the lore of the facility due to me taking on other projects and being busy in irl. However, a thought kept on appearing.
That thought being? To turn Epsilon Research Facility into something very ambitious to say the least...
A game about the plot of Epsilon Research Facility.
My thought about it, is to make it into a visual novel, action adventure, FPS game, where the story-line consist of 5 chapters. The first 2, I plan to them to be a bit of a slow burn. Mostly consisting introducing the characters, the environment and the main plot(Which I will get to into in a bit). Chapter 3 will be the middle ground, mostly consisting on a plot twist. Then the last 2 will be the aftermath of the story and ending.
Now the plot will go like this:
Your put into the shoes of Edwin Wilhelm, a top researcher at the facility.
In the first two chapters, You are given tasks by the administrator, Ronja Ellenburg, which will mostly consists into preparations for a important experiment that could make a scientific breakthrough and win massive funding for the facility.
In these missions you will interact with the other OCs of mine, in missions and tasks like gathering intel, testing the Anti-mass spectrometer to check if its in perfect condition and many more.
In the third chapter, the experiment is taken place. Everyone is stressed and exited of the event. You help in the experiment by putting the sample into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer, a fossil that its believed to give an answer into how life appeared on Earth.
Everything is going to plan, until the spectrometer malfunctions and it explodes violently. Its got sabotaged by Northern Trident, a vicious competitor of Epsilon.
They hacked the anti-mass spectrometer's data base overloading it into make it explode and crippling the facility, which gives them time to launch an all out attack on the facility.
Here its split into 3 endings that are planned in a similar form to Undertale:
The first one is the "Traitor ending", where you get bribed into joining the Northern Trident and helping them in the operation. There you kill the administrator and your friends and take control of the facility. By helping them achieve that, you become the right hand man of the leader of the Northern Trident.
The second one is the "It will never be the same ending", You help the administrator and your friends fend off the invading forces. The Epsilon forces came out victories, but everyone in the facility is affected. Your friends begin to show their true side and problems, including you and some of them, including the administrator are traumatized.
The fourth and fifth chapter are about helping with the recovery of the facility and helping your friends from recovering from the events of the attack while trying not lose yourself in the progress.(Side note: I plan other endings to come from these chapters)
The third and maybe the last ending is the "Two steps ahead ending", where you refuse the bribe of the Northern Trident and finding out about their operations. You warn the administrator about it, in which she uses the experiment as a distraction to launch a counter attack. You assist in it and Epsilon manages to take down the Northern Trident and the experiment is a success. For your actions, you are giving a promotion and get the title "Savior of Epsilon"
Phew...that was a lot to write haha.
I really look forward into this and I will take heavy inspiration from Half life 1 and Half life 2 and its style, which I will combine it with the frutiger aero esthetic.
The name of the game? It will be "No way back" as the choices that you make cannot be undone.
So thats about it. I will ,of course, keep on coming up with ideas, plus I will use this to learn coding and game development.
It will be a journey of trail and error, but it will sure be worth it!
So stay tuned!
