Game Intro Pitch:
We focus on a vast landscape shrouded in night. Then, the sun peeks over the horizon. Light filters across the land, revealing mountains and plains devoid of life.
We flash to a tree long since dead. Its withered form catches the sun, showing its age and the deep cracks running from decay. We flash again to a large, dry lake bed where old machines resembling pumps are planted across the surface—rusted from years of abandonment.
The camera pans to show the remains of a long-abandoned city near the lake bed. Boats lay in the dirt and dust below empty docks. The city streets are empty and crumbling, and the once-tall skyscrapers now rusted and creaking.
We zoom past the city, catching several glints of reflected light. We find dozens of small glass domes. Stopping over one, the camera spins down through the glass to reveal a massive cavern below, filled with people.
It is a bustling marketplace, with wooden, ramshackle stalls and brick shops packed with people pushing and shouting over one another. We scan over a few of these scenes, watching people pound on stall counters, bartering loudly. Just another day in the city markets.
Then, we stop on Alia. The twenty-year-old is looking over some fruit as her father, Barek, shouts at the stall owner over the price. Finally, a deal is made. Barek hands over six jars of water to the stallkeeper, gathers the fruit, and stuffs it into a sack.
We zoom in on the fruit stall’s counter. A pile of yellow-shelled fruit begins to shake. The stall owner raises an eyebrow as it starts to slide across the counter. The shaking intensifies, sending dust cascading from the cavern ceiling.
Then, the glass domes above start going dark, one by one. Everyone stops shouting and looks up. Hundreds of eyes watch the light vanish as a massive silhouette slowly eclipses the sun. We zoom in on Alia’s green eyes as the last golden rays fade from her pupils. In their place, her eyes reflect the cold glow of a dozen small artificial lights from a ship now hovering above their cavern city.
