The Simulation Briefing
The Concept
It started as a normal summer day. After returning home from vacation, Yianni is greeted by his friends, all looking to hang out and play video games. But Yianni has brought something back with him—a mysterious, incredibly realistic PS3 game rumored to be the talk of the coast: Last Level.
While the rest of the group takes a nap waiting for the slow loading screen, Yianni and Amaia decide to get a head start. They press START. The TV screen glitches. A deafening BOOM echoes through the house.
One by one, the group is pulled through a blinding white television screen into a dark, unforgiving digital world. Stranded in an unfamiliar facility, hunted by elusive guards dressed in hot red, and stripped of their clothes for numbered suits, they realize they aren't just playing a game anymore. To get back home, they have to survive the system.
The System Rules
Upon entering the facility, players are designated by glowing, high-tech suits. With Yianni marked as Player 001 and his friends designated with numbers like Player 021, 046, and 789, they must quickly learn the rules of this twisted virtual reality before the countdown ends.
The Red Guards
They aren't alone in the simulation. Dressed in striking hot red, highly-trained guards patrol the industrial levels of the game. Armed with tranquilizer weapons and absolute authority, they enforce the terrifying mechanics of the system.
