Detailed narrative

For the game document I needed to go into more depth with the narrative for each chapter. This was hard because I had to think of the entire narrative, which I dont have. I have basic ideas which form the narrative but I will try to keep te narrative open with some specifics.

Overview of Chapter 1

Throughout the first chapter Aaron looks for a way to get back to the Drayton city that he knows. He must gather information about what happened to the city and try to survive long enough to do so. As he becomes more familiar with the future he realises he needs to change the past so this future will never happen. He needs to go to the past to kill the president and change the world that he knew. This would stop the future that he went into and he would never lose his family.

At the end of the first chapter Aaron leaves the future and goes to the year of the first riots.

Overview of Chapter 2 

Aaron must find out how to get to the president. He also must find ways of killing the president and an opportunity to do so. Aaron must save his family from the first riot that leads to his apartment being destroyed. At the end of chapter two Aaron is given the opportunity to kill the president or let him live and then travel back to the present. This decision will be made by the player based on the information that they found in chapter 1. The choice here will change the narrative of the next chapter.

The choice of side missions in chapter two reveal different parts of the narrative to the player.

SET 1: The player believes the president is evil. He is corrupt and the reason the city of the future is in that state. (This is incorrect.) This information will lead to the player killing the president.

SET 2:The president is being forced by a group that control Tranium industries. He is the face of the company being forced to fulfil their wishes just like the other employees in the company. This will result in the player letting the president live.

Overview of chapter 3: the president dies

If the player decided to kill the president Aaron would be arrested when he travels back to the future. He then escapes and discovers a group are controlling Tranium industries. He then must destroy the company itself to ever change the future.

Overview of chapter 3: the president lives 

If the player lets the president live he travels back to the future and finds out the president is assassinated anyway. He discovers his family have been imprisoned. He must break into the prison and save his family. After doing so he must destroy Tranium industries to change the future.

No matter what choices the player makes throughout the game the result is always the same. The company must be destroyed to change the future of Drayton city. How the player gets to this conclusion changes through the game.
