PROTOTYPE EVIL — Working Script

This is the "talking to myself" version — keep every reference, every joke, every note. Full script + dev notes combined so future-me doesn't lose the thread. Also really really long read

_____

Gameplay-wise, I'm trying to hit a few different itches:

Stealth/infiltration (disguise-and-blend sections, Hitman-style — regular guards won't clock you, but the higher-ups will)

Straightforward action (cover-based gunfights when stealth goes sideways)

Puzzle/environmental sections that break up the combat

Survival horror dread (claustrophobic hallways, an escalating monster you're not ready for)

Style: Fixed camera angles, like classic RE / early 2000s survival horror — partly a budget/scope call as a solo dev, partly because I genuinely think it fits the tone better than over-the-shoulder would.

Tone: Mixes humor (goofy side-character energy, some genuinely stupid jokes) with a story that gets legitimately heavy — no cheap happy endings, consequences that actually stick. Think less "hero saves the day," more "hero has to live with what happened."

Runtime target is somewhere in the 4-8 hour range — tight and replayable rather than padded out.

I'm doing basically everything myself (writing, most of the VA, building it), so this is very much a passion project, not a AAA pitch. Mainly want to know: does this sound like something you'd actually want to play? What would make you more or less interested? Not looking for hype, genuinely want the "eh, this part sounds weak" feedback too. Also when I say I want feedback, I want actual feedback, not just shiting on me, so if you don't have actual feedback to give me, you can keep it pushing.

───

PART 1 — THE BURTON FAMILY CAMPING TRIP

(2013, ~2 ish year after Revelations 2)

Full "dad simulator" opening, inspired by Pragmata — playing as Barry doing camp setup, talking with Moira, Natalia, and Kathy. Wholesome, peaceful, normal-life-first per the feedback that campaigns should open grounded.

DEV NOTE: Give this section real room to breathe — this is the "too much action" fix applied to the START of the game too, not just the back half. The kidnapping only lands if we actually buy into these people as a family first.

DEV NOTE — Kathy (Uncle Ben model): Kathy is thin on the page relative to how much her death matters later (Part 10). Doesn't need much — Uncle Ben doesn't get much either — but needs ONE or two specific, hers-and-only-hers beats here. A line, a habit, a piece of advice she gives Moira that Moira can consciously or unconsciously carry forward through Parts 10–12. The goal: her death should inform Moira's choices/dialogue all the way to the ending, not just be a gut-punch that gets left behind.

Nighttime. Campfire. Everyone gets tranquilized.

DA FAMILY = RE6's shadowy, centuries-old secret society manipulating global politics/U.S. power from behind the scenes. They know (via a recovered file from an operative on the island) that "Natalia" is actually Alex Wesker, consciousness-transferred into Natalia's body. Their leader, Malichai Black, wants that knowledge — he's aging and wants to transfer his own consciousness into a younger body.

Family gets taken to a secret underground facility — NOT China (too much RE6 overlap) — North bloody Dakota.

Barry wakes up in a cell — massive Gulag-style prison. Talks to other prisoners during free time, gets the first real explanation of DA FAMILY.

───

PART 2 — PRISON BREAK

Prison Break energy, Barry as Michael Scofield, except the supporting cast is so unmemorable they're probably not making it out anyway.

Barry + the boys don't know where they are — underground, at sea, isolated, unclear.

Barry's plan: start a fight on purpose → dragged to solitary → sees more hallways along the way (Death Star aesthetic — massive industrial hallways, feels endless).

Hides beside the solitary door, waits for a guard, knocks him out, steals his clothes (suit/vest/ski mask/shades = inconspicuous). Leaves prisoner clothes on the unconscious guard so a cell check reads as "still sleeping."

Walking-as-a-guard section inspired by that Infinite Warfare mission (Nick sneaks aboard, disguises, blends in en route to the officers).

Finds a control room, two guards inside — player's choice how to deal with them. Checks security cameras:

• Moira — held in the female-only prison section.

• "Natalia" — being interrogated, audio unclear, identity still a mystery to Barry at this point.

One big ominous red button. He presses it. Every prison door in the facility opens. Shit hits the fan.

DEV NOTE — Malichai gauntlet placement: THIS is roughly where the expanded Malichai material should start weaving in through Parts 2/5/8 — see the dedicated gauntlet note under Part 8 below. Malichai should have a couple of legit in-person appearances before the finale (a warden-style inspection walk early in the Gulag, maybe a direct scene where he personally needles Alex during interrogation) so he's a real presence the player has history with by the time we reach him, not just a voice on cameras/phone. Skull Face (MGSV) model — doesn't need to fight to be dangerous, needs PRESENCE.

───

PART 3 — MOIRA'S ESCAPE

POV switch to Moira. A couple weeks before Barry's prison break.

DEV NOTE: Since POV is jumping backward in time here, make sure the time-jump is unmistakable on-screen every time this happens across the script (explicit signposting/timestamp treatment) — three parallel POV threads is ambitious, don't let players lose the thread of when something is happening relative to the others.

Moira + Kathy in the female block. Women randomly taken for experiments — some come back, some don't. Kathy gets taken and doesn't come back. Moira has no idea where she went.

Since Revelations 2, Moira's picked up some basic self-defense (not CQC-Solid-Snake level, but she can hold her own).

When Barry pops all the doors, Moira grabs a guard's gun, shoots him, crawls into a vent to hide — "this shit is Among Us."

Vent-crawling, sees a lab below: scientists experimenting on a guard. They inject him, he tweaks out, collapses — experiment looks failed. Then he gets back up "like The Undertaker at WrestleMania 24," mutates, breaks out, starts killing everyone in the lab.

Moira: more fucked than 2005 Randy Orton when Undertaker made his return. ✌️😭

───

PART 4 — ALEX WESKER REVEALED

Moira drops down after the scientists clear out, gets killed by the BOW [continuity note: contradicts her surviving later — check/resolve this in a pass].

Moira investigates, learns Malichai's branch of DA FAMILY wants immortality via Alex Wesker's consciousness-transfer knowledge.

The gut-punch: the "innocent little girl" she's called her sister for the past year isn't a little girl at all — it's the grown woman who tried to kill them on DA Island.

Shock → "no time to ask questions" → keeps moving through the lab. Scientists hear commotion outside, look out, see the monster ripping people apart — bloody massacre.

───

PART 5 — THE SCIENCE WING

Back to Barry immediately after the door-opening. Guards rushing to lock down/quarantine the science wing — Barry can't reach Moira now. Still in guard disguise, plays along, rushes over with the others.

While passing the male prison block, subtly unlocks that door too — payoff comes later.

Reaches the science wing — hallway sequence like Rogue One, monster tearing through people, everyone trying to hold it back. Barry activates automatic doors, seals the area. A guard begs at the glass, gets grabbed and torn apart.

Malichai orders security to double down (operation's falling apart).

Barry can't reach Moira anymore — pivots toward Natalia's holding area. Disguise isn't invisibility — Hitman rules: regular soldiers don't clock him, certain higher-ranking overseers can. Those are who he avoids.

Reaches the lower levels.

───

PART 6 — NATALIA IS ALEX

POV switch — playing as Natalia/Alex. Being interrogated by DA FAMILY (they want the consciousness-transfer method). Alex drops the innocent-kid act here — sarcastic, confident, won't give them anything because she knows the second they get it, she's dead.

Barry heading this direction. Passes a room where a guy's being tortured — forced to listen to KSI's full music career, a fate worse than death. ✌️😭

Barry arrives, takes out the two guards. Alex immediately snaps back to the innocent-child persona. Reunion with "Natalia."

Disguise section ends here. "Dad simulator" mechanic kicks back in — Natalia isn't a combat character (same as Revelations 2), she's support, using her supernatural sense to help Barry detect threats. Gameplay shifts toward Ghost Recon — cover, rolling out, controlled shots, position to position. Not clearing the whole facility — pushing toward the command room.

───

PART 7 — MOIRA IN THE QUARANTINE ZONE

Immediately after the science wing doors lock. Moira realizes she's cooked — trapped with the big thing and the zombie minions, whole wing's a war zone.

Sneak-through hallways, "bloodier than that MGSV Diamond Dogs mission." Objective: find Mom, get out.

Finds a hidden pocket of survivors in the quarantine zone — can't go in guns blazing, they'll shoot her; has to sneak in. Inside: the lab where the women were being taken. They've been injecting them with the same stuff that turned the soldier into "William Birkin's ugly cousin."

Sees Kathy tied to an operating table. Gun in a scientist's face — "Yo, spill everything." He explains: they're trying to build a Wesker-super-soldier serum for their troops, using Alex's blood (she's one of the Wesker Children — genetically "perfect" kids raised with ideal traits, same logic as the original Wesker project). Didn't work. Plan B (per the bloodshed outside): get Jake's blood instead.

Moira helps Kathy up, they sneak through the halls (hiding from hordes + the big guy) — and that's when Kathy starts to mutate, right there.

Moira can't bring herself to kill her own mother mid-transformation. Leaves her, runs. The logical call in the moment.

───

PART 8 — WALK 'EM DOWN BARRY

Back to Barry + Natalia after the interrogation rescue (guy was being tortured with Playboi Carti out of his prime).

Prisoners from the earlier door-pop are rioting; guards busy on zombie cleanup. Barry uses the chaos to push toward the command center — run-and-gun, cover, pop shots, move on.

DEV NOTE — THIS is the section to expand with the Malichai gauntlet + chair boss fight. Full plan:

▪ Instead of straight combat the whole stretch, Malichai (from the control room, watching cameras) actively throws obstacles at Barry + Alex in escalating waves — this breaks up the "too much action" problem AND makes him feel personally invested instead of just narrating from a chair:

i. Reroute/seal wave — he locks doors ahead, forces a reroute/puzzle (find another path, override a lock, reroute power).

ii. Personal dispatch wave — sends guards specifically to stop them, framed as him ordering it directly (heard over intercom/radio, not just implied).

iii. Escalation wave — traps get nastier (gas, turrets, maybe he deliberately releases one of the mutated test subjects into their path). This is the turn from "administrator doing his job" to "actively trying to kill them."

iv. By the time Barry reaches the door, Malichai should be visibly unraveling — audibly losing his composure with his own officers ("kill the two, they keep coming back" energy, said OUT LOUD over comms, not just implied) — sets up his state for the fight itself.

▪ Chair fight: After clearing the control room, his chair transforms — Professor X-style powered rig with guns/shields. He can't physically fight (old man, stays consistent w/ the realism logic) but this makes a real mechanical boss fight possible.

▫ Telegraph it earlier — a glimpse of the powered-down chair somewhere in the gauntlet, or an inmate/scientist referencing "the chair" with dread, so the reveal pays off instead of coming from nowhere.

▫ Phase 1: composed, defensive/tactical use of the chair (shields, controlled fire) — matches his controlled Skull-Face energy.

▫ Phase 2: as he takes damage, attacks get more erratic/desperate — dramatizes his unraveling mechanically, not just narratively.

▫ Fight should be about finding tactical openings/weak points, not a toe-to-toe slugfest — stays consistent with "he's not a fighter" logic.

▫ Resolution: he ejects/flees the chair right before it's destroyed — clean, visible reason he's alive later to crawl onto the elevator in Part 12. Update the old "he doesn't even try to fight back, knows he's finished" beat to happen AFTER this fight, once he's actually lost and has to run.

Malichai, watching everything fall apart: giant ugly thing in one half of the facility, Barry/John-Wicking + "Natalia" squad wiping out the rest of his operation. Meanwhile (parallel world events): Carla's gone rogue releasing a bioweapon in China, Simmons has gone off the deep end over Ada and taken out a city + the President, also in China. Malichai's superiors telling him to fix it before hanging up. He starts making calls — kill everybody, nobody's leaving alive, sic an assassin on Simmons and his failed experiment.

Barry kicks the doors down. Shootout. [Chair fight happens here per dev note above.] Barry's on the controls trying to open the door for his other daughter.

Alex, meanwhile, rage-baiting Malichai — good character beat, shows her growing attachment to the family (defending them while instigating him).

Doors open — but the big dude + zombies + mutated women pour out. ("Screaming zombie from RE9 had a mutated kid with Clickers from TLOU.")

Security cameras reveal a third section — an R&D lab, with an armory.

───

PART 9 — THE R&D FACILITY

Barry, Moira, Natalia reach R&D — totally different vibe, open layout, giant 20x20 office-cubicle rows full of cool shit, especially weapons.

Moira tells Barry what happened to Kathy. He's devastated.

Planning how to kill the big guy — guns alone won't cut it. The particle accelerator bit:

"It's not like we have a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles — like electrons or protons — to speeds close to the speed of light, right?" (green-screen particle accelerator behind you) "Oh shit, that would work." "Let me break this down — time to put those high school lessons to good use. If organic material collides with a high-energy particle accelerator beam, the intense energy causes catastrophic thermal/radiation damage to the impact zone." In simple English: organic material + giant WMD = bad for organic material.

Plan: lure the Prototype toward the interaction point (IP) — where the beams cross — for a big open boss arena.

DEV NOTE: This exposition-dump/humor beat is genuinely one of the best pressure-valve scenes in the script — a real breather before the next stretch of intensity. Consider adding one or two more scenes like this elsewhere if pacing needs another break.

───

PART 10 — MOIRA VS. KATHY

Moira heads to the armory, then back into the quarantine zone for her mother. Kathy's fully transformed — now basically the queen of the Banshee/Clicker-style abominations spreading through the facility. Personal boss fight for Moira.

Throughout: Moira tries to reach her, reminding her of shared memories, hoping something's still in there. She's too far gone.

After the fight, Moira has to make the call herself — the General Shepherd (MW2) ending, except there's no Captain Price to stop her. She puts her mother down herself.

Biggest emotional beat of her arc — not just killing a B.O.W., accepting the person she came to save is already gone.

DEV NOTE — Uncle Ben payoff check: Make sure whatever specific beat/line Kathy got in Part 1 echoes here somehow (even subtly) — this is where the "impact through limited screentime" structure either pays off or doesn't.

───

PART 11 — THE PROTOTYPE

Cut to "Natalia" prepping to lure the Prototype to the accelerator. Moira confronts her — she knows Natalia is Alex, she just had to kill her own mother, she's in no mood. Alex: "Okay, we can talk about this after we kill the giant ugly ass motherfucker." Differences shelved, they lure the monster toward Barry at the accelerator.

(Dad-tech-illiteracy bit — every father's IQ about new technology drops 10 points the day they become a parent. Before kids: knew everything. After: what the hell is any of this. 💀 Since most players won't know how a particle accelerator works either — big puzzle instead of a simple switch-flip. "Who the fuck built this shit?"

DEV NOTE: Need an actual concept for what KIND of puzzle this is before this goes further than a pitch doc — currently just "a big puzzle."

Puzzle solved, accelerator powers up. The Prototype arrives — "walking you down like Kane on October 5, 1997, at Badd Blood: In Your House." Classic RE final boss shape: one giant, disgusting, escalating monster.

Checkpoints = more mutated/dangerous each time. Player forces him toward the center of the accelerator. Fully charged. Tombstone position. Fires. Beam destroys him.

Problem: the party's organic too — gotta clear the blast zone before it fires. Prototype sent to Valhalla. Escape time.

───

PART 12 — THE FACILITY SELF-DESTRUCTS

Malichai's survived in the control room [per Part 8 dev note — he ejected the chair before it went down]. No talking his way out anymore — activates the self-destruct.

Sprint to the exit — explosions, chaos, remaining abominations destroyed, facility collapsing. Reach the elevator. Rises toward the surface as the facility explodes below. Doors open — cold night, rain, that feeling of freedom.

Moira drops the bombshell: Natalia is Alex Wesker. Barry — just minutes removed from learning his wife is dead and his daughter had to put her down — now learns the girl he raised for a year was never really her. Rick-Season-3-Episode-4 levels of stunned.

Malichai somehow survived, climbs onto the elevator Shepherd trying to save the council on the Citadel energy. Bond-villain speech — doesn't finish it. Alex takes him down with her powers.

Biggest choice in the game.

ENDING A — ACCEPT ALEX

Barry and Moira accept Alex into the family. Moira isn't happy, doesn't immediately forgive her — Barry believes she's genuinely changed after everything. Alex gets another shot at having a family.

DEV NOTE: Not a happy ending — an uneasy, partial mercy. Moira's lack of forgiveness should stay present, not get smoothed over.

ENDING B — LEAVE ALEX BEHIND

Barry and Moira can't accept her after everything. Walk away, leave her behind. Alone in the middle of nowhere with the consequences of everything.

She reflects — yeah, she was a terrible person. Picks up the gun.

DEV NOTE — finalized staging: Cut to black BEFORE she raises the gun — don't show her lifting it toward herself at all, just her expression / picking up the weapon, then silence, then cut. No visual of the act, not even implied-in-frame. This matters specifically because she still reads visually as a child — protects the moment while keeping every bit of its weight. Gunshot plays under the credits (see below), not in-scene.

POST-CREDITS

Depending on ending: survivors on the side of the road, trying to hitchhike back to civilization. People pass them by, some look at them strangely before speeding off.

Alright, i'm just gonna start from the top. The only reason I got this game. Because, like a couple months ago I see they had a cyberpunk, collab, and I was like, I love cyberpunk2077 in 2025 so, you know, I end up downloading the game. You know, playing through the story got a little bit of too attached to now. I'm playing the game for the game. You know, obviously, you know, I just finished up like the like. The whole main story of everything i'm like, i'm caught up and now, and I see that Aemeath it is like in the shop or whatever you call it. And I know you have to roll for her. But like is there like I don't know something I can do to improve my odds, or is this just all pure luck 🤔 and before you type anything, no, and as long as I live, I will not spend any sort of real life hard working money on a video game.

Ok, if Cybertronians were in Ace Combat

1. Would you want one?

2. If you did, what would you name it? And what would it be?

3. Mine's name is Bob, really chill guy, on a usual he is a McDonnell Douglas F-15, but if we're in the mood for like final mission, main character energy, we'll would of course, go with the iconic F-22 Raptor

Okay.So for this one I wanted to do the short sleeve version, because,I wanted to spice it up a little bit.You don't usually wear the short sleeves a lot in the show. Besides the points, if you want, like the full loadout, well, then just ask 👍

So, you know, recently I just finished replaying resident evil six, after all these years made me feel young again.But I have to finishing the game.I just realized because us, the player we know ada got a clone on some metal gear shit, but if we were thinking as the characters to them, for example, chris, he saw "Ada" get sniped and fall to her demise, so to him she's dead dead. And Leon after watching that creepy tape of the clone being born, and since i'm pretty sure nobody filled him in that that that is a clone to him.He don't even know if ada is even a human like the last time when he saw her like, oh, after the quick fight, he said to her, "What are you" sooo unless i've missed something, i'm pretty sure. Would you chris think she's dead and Leon thinks She's a BOW or something like that. And since she's never showed up after that game in universe, both of them would think. Yeah, either that she's dead or she's some sort of alien monster bs dad, I don't want nobody excusing like that's not realistic, because nothing in this universe is realistic.A guy can inject himself with a virus and start moving like he's in the matrix. Also, if she does make it appearance in a future game, I really want them to like play on that.Nobody knows that that was a clone.All the way back in re6 because if she does show up another game, I don't just don't want everybody just a gloss over the fact that she could or could not be even human. So I would love to hear your theories.And maybe prove me wrong

I'll say it, I like the one piece suits in the first game. Don't get me wrong I do love how in the second and third game when it was fully customizable, but overall you cannot deny that the original one piece suits did have some aura and I would have loved to have both, some players get to use the one piece like me, others get to use the fully customizable. I don't know if you start with the the one piece since they gave us.Because yeah, they were cool.But they're not as cool as the ones from ME1, but that collector suit did look fire. But to be honest, the only thing I didn't like about the original suits that only served in classes could use certain suits, I just thought that was just one big bullshit.

Look, I posted a few times here, and i'm pretty sure I established I'm not a ball knowledge player I played this game for the fun of it and the story, and for a while now, I had my rover maxed out at 70 and every time what I try to level him up.It says, I need to get this rock thing and I gotta "explore" and that really vague because what the fuck you mean "explore" and expect me to know what the hell are you talking about? So if anybody knows how to do this, I would love some sort of knowledge because google is really not helping me right now

Look, so I'll keep this quick.I started playing the game like 2 months ago, and I originally, when he played it for the cyberpunk collab, but I got so invested to the story, I just, you know, completed the whole story quest and got up to 3.5. So as the title says, like, I'm not good with i pick it out with a team that would like max out my damage or whatever, usually I just pick Rover and 2 other people that I feel like and just using. Also the same thing with the echoes I really ignore the stats and stuff. I just pick whoever looks cool, like the False Sovereign, that guy looks pretty damn badass but I know there is some sort of like "meta" or the "best team" for this game and I really don't know what to do. So if anybody has any suggestions, i'm all ears.

I hate to admit, but Aemeath loves Rover a little more than just fatherly/motherly. Before you start crashing out on me, hear me out At first Aemeath felt like quirky, adoptive Daughter but after seeing into her past and yeah, this woman is basically a full psycho, i can go on to a full rant about all of those things that proves my point, but everybody here already knows that.But if you're new to the game, I should just, you got your experience it for yourself.You will cry a lot, maybe some tears of sadness, maybe some tears in fear, but I'll make it quick.I could just list down the few things off the top of my head. She made a clone of Rover, by "accident" obviously and had him go around on this whole goose chase, like some Solid versus Liquid snake bs. Also she proceeds to beat up and basically torture that poor clone for a decade.Even though that clone, whole motive was trying to stop her from but doing what she did in the end that poor crown, all he/she really wanted was to get home, and you gave him/her that delusion, and she basically acts like that clinky ex girlfriend you can't get over you, and she personally believes that your problems are her problems, She's severely angry on Rover's behalf even though rover is like a chill guy/gal, yes, the people from Rover's home world are they kind of assholes? Yeah, but you know rover, they pushed that off their shoulders right there.Being the bigger person . But the main point is Aemeath loves Rover more than just fatherly/motherly role, and you could even say it's a one-way romance.

edit: okay, after seeing some backlash, I can understand how what I said, making me sound like a creep. So I'm here to correct myself. I DON'T see the relationship as one way romantic.I do see that as like father figure daughter figure, but i'm here to say we can't ignore the facts.The writing is literally on the wall. Ok what i'm trying to say is i'm tired of being gasolit everywhere that Aemeath didn't do nothing wrong.Let's be for real, She's crazy, deluded, Maybe insane? totally, because we've all learned from 9 seasons of CW Flash on why we do NOT go back in time and and make a whole bloody paradox. So I do apologize at my initial post did make me sound like I am a EDP445, but I still stand by my words.She likes that guy a little too much, and she is insane, not as Joker type insane but she's up there
