Option 3.1 is the natural progression after Option 2.1, and also the progression for option 3.2, which itself is the natural progression of Option 2.2. As such, all game paths lead to option 3.1, albeit with different iterations and tasks.
Option 3.1
Context
After recovering from the exhilarating entry into the planet’s atmosphere and the fear of immediate doom as the craft shuddered upon landfall. You make your way to the exit door, contemplating how you remember the craft’s layout. You see a biometric scanner on the wall, but it seems to be unresponsive. Seems like you have to manually open the door locks. Challenge: Open the Door. Skipped (or can be skipped) if the player has at least 1 Hardware. Reward(s): +1 Hardware
Context
As the door opens, the comatose screen besides it comes to life. The message this time reads: Please enter your Name.
Cue player profile set-up sequence. After this, the player will be provided with the context for the rest of the game.
Option 3.2
Context
Having fixed the console, you take another look at the planet looming in front of the window. A single lonely moon greets you from the distance, its shadow casting a light shade on the planet’s clouds. As you sit down on the console, you feel old instincts kicking in. You feel like you’ll be able to land the craft. But the question remains…Where? It’s time for you to now set the coordinates of landfall on the planet. Challenge: Configure the Impossible-Nav.
