Overview
Plot summary
The story revolves around an undercover detective (who the player can name and
customize) after infiltrating a group of high profile drug dealers, and is split into 3
acts. On the night the raid to take them down is meant to happen, they are captured
by the group and forced to witness there wife/husband tortured and killed in front of
them, then the group leader shots the player in the head. The player awakens in a
white room, were a man in a white lab coat enters, the man tells the player that he is
in the waiting room (limbo) and the chairman (god) will shortly decide their fate.
Then the screen fades to white. The player wakes up in a panic after the group have
escaped the building, the player unties himself and proceeds to the exit, where a few
of the groups henchmen are still roaming around they spot and shots at the player,
the player puts his hands up to stay cover himself and shouts stop, but a blast of
power comes out of their hands hitting the men and blasting them back knocking
them out, then the player faints. The player wakes up again, but this time in their
home, the same man in the white lab coat is sitting in a chair were the player wakes
up and explains that the chairman has given the player a chance to catch the killer of
their family and has given the player the ability to step in and out of the afterlife and
manipulate all elements of the world, he also tells the player that once they capture
the killer of their loved one there soul will be set free.
At the end of act 1 the player finds his wife/husbands killer but before he can capture
him, the killer blast the player away using the same power the player possesses, and
escapes. The player is then teleported back to the white room they were in at the
start of the game and the man in the white lab coat explains that he has not been
truthful about bringing the player back to life.
He explains that there has been a war fought in the shadows by heaven and hell
since the dawn of time and that they only chose the bravest men and women to fight
on their side. And that hell recruits the most evil and psychotic humans on the planet
to fight for them and cause chaos on earth, the man finishes of by saying that hell are
winning and that heaven is only month from being defeated and once that happens
the devil will rise and enslave the world.
At this point the player has a chose between siding with either heaven or hell in the
story missions, whatever the player decides to side the story change depending on
their choices, if the player choses heaven then the player will continue on their
mission to save earth for hells army, but if they chose hell, then the player acts as a
undercover agent who tells hell all about what heaven are doing, which lets hell
capitalise one that and ambush heaven every chance they get.
In the final act of the game the player defeats the killer of his family in an epic battle,
but the army of heaven either fail or succeed in defeating hells army depending on
what the players decisions they make throughout the game. If the player has stayed
on heavens side then they will become an angel and be reunited with their
wife/husband in heaven, but if the player sided with hell, then the player severs all
ties with their family and helps rule earth as Satans right and man
The game
Souls of pain is an action/adventure role playing game which is set in an alternative
New York City. The game will feature guns, blood, violence and bad language, the
gameplay will be in a third person camera. The game will also feature mechanics that
allow the player to manipulate and interact with objects with the world with magic,
the player will also have a range of magic powers and a special abilitys depending on
the players class. Other mechanics will allow the player to investigate areas of the
world for clues (similar to LA Noire) in the detective missions and finding hidden
collectables. The game is open world and can be explored freely.
Physics
The player will be able to volt over objects, and fall of buildings and take damage and
possibly die. There will also be a magic ability that the player can unlock which will
allow them to stop enemy bullets in mid-air and fire them back at the enemy to kill
them. The enforcer class also has the ability to slow down time for 30 seconds.
Platforms
The game will release on both ps4 and Xbox one, I chose not to release the game on
the pc as the control scheme will not suit mouse and keyboard.
I choose the next gen consoles because:

Not many sold, so owners will be more happy to buy a new ip as there
is not many games out
The extra power so that the game will look and run better
Achievements/trophies
Unforgettable: complete the game on easy

Unimaginable: complete the game on normal difficulty
unforgiven: complete the game on hard difficulty
case cracked: complete your first detective mission
case closed: complete all detective missions
I can see dead people: use limbo vision for the first time

Game features
Skill trees
Each of the three classes have their own skill tree. Every time the player levels up
they will get the option to pick a new skill for their character. (See more in the skill
tree section)
States
The players statues are an important part of any character they make, the
characters states are split into five attributes:
Strength- increases the players melee damage and weapon damage.
Endurance- increases the players stamina, which allows them to move faster,
Charisma- increases the players ability to persuade npcs, allowing the player
to get money of items or a new strategy to infiltrate a building.
Intelligent- increases the power of the players magic, it also boosts the
players magic defence. And also effects the amount of spells the player can
have in their inventory.
Sneak- makes the players footsteps silencer, and increases the chance to
successfully lock pick.
Depending on what class the player has chosen there states will be different. As all
classes have pre-set states which cant be changed, however the player can wear
different types of cloths that can increase certain statues.
Currency
There will be money in the game and it will be used to buy clothing and weapons in
the game, the currency will be in dollars since the game is set in New York City.
Weapons
The main weapons the player will be using are guns, each class can use most
weapons in the game but each class will have a couple exclusive to that class. There
will also be melee attacks in the game if the player wants to get up close and
personal with their enemies.
Weapon upgrades
Throughout the game the play will earn money to allow them to upgrade their guns,
the player can also craft new weapon parts to replace the existing ones to make the
weapon stronger.
Clothing (armour)
Clothing in the game helps increase players states. Each piece of clothing also adds
to the players armour, depending on the clothing depends on how much armour it
provides, the max level of armour on a body part is 10. Clothing can also be crafted.
Limbo vision
The player will be able to enter the afterlife, this ability can be used by all three
classes which is like eagle vision from the assassins creed series, and is used to find
hidden objects not seen in the real world, identifying enemies and highlighting
alternative routes.
Story mission
These missions are used to push the story forward and ill offer new skills and exp as
the player progresses through them.
Side missions
These missions are optional side missions that the player can do when roaming the
world. These missions have lots of variety, form fetch missions, defending missions,
ambush missions and detective missions, which consists of the player investigating a
crime scene and tracking down the criminal, if the player completes the mission any
side mission then they will be rewarded with exp and money.
Online
The game supports 2 player coop which allow the 2 players to play campaign
missions together and play exclusive missions as well. The other online game type is
bounties, were a player takes a bounty which they have to complete, these bounties
are challenges that the player must do to get a reward. Players who are evil can also
invade other peoples worlds.
Collectables
the collectables in the game will be souls fragments, each fragment has a memory of
a mysterious person on it and once collected the player will see a short cut scene of a
part of their life, once the player has found all of these the mysterious person is
revealed to be the man in the white lab coat, giving the player knowledge of some of
his backstory, plus the player will also receive lots of exp and a new weapon.

ability they can use in combat, all of the abilitys will have a cool down timer, which
will be around 3 minutes real time.

World and time

The game is an open world game, so the character will be able to free roam in the
home base called the reef, and the streets of new your city, which can be explored
for collectables, story or side missions,
This is the map of New York City and were all of the games events will take place.
The map is split into three districts, the player can roam all of the map for the start of
the game and doesnt not need to unlock any areas, but all areas in the game have
difficulty settings and the player will not be able to keep themselves alive in the
areas unless they have upgraded here character to the right level.
Each district will have its own shops, which the player can go and buy and upgrade
their gear, depending on the level of difficult the player is in changes what the shops
will sell the player and what price the items will be.
Space
Since the game is open world, the player is free to run around the map doing
whatever they want, but the map does end and the playable map is cornered of by
invisible walls if the player reaches the end of it, and the walls will block the player
from going any further, the walls are invisible because the player feels like the map is
larder that it actually is, giving the map a sense of scale. The map will be filed with
people and cars driving passed to make it feel like real city. The city is not a one to
one scale of New York, so the player can easily run around and not take them to long
to get to mission
The reef
Social
Weapons
Clothing
Entrance
The reef houses all of the undead people, and is used as a social hub for players to
meet up. It is located in the centre of the map, In this area the player can use their
material that they have collected on missions to upgrade or create the weapons and
clothing which is suited for coop play there will also be some npcs walking around
the reef that will give you side missions that are separate from the campaign and will
take you to different areas no visited in the story, some npcs can also give you
bountys to complete which are challenges that the player must complete to earn
extra money.
The main room is the social room were players can go on missions together
The entrance section is where the player will first come into the base, and this
section will be were players are seen roaming around doing whatever they
want, there as will be a massive screen in the centre of the room showing
leader board stats and bountys.
The clothing section is where the player will be getting clothing for missions
only available for online.
Weapons sections is where the player gets special weapons for online
missions
Time
The game has a real time system, so time moves normal as the player is playing the
game, the time only will be forced to change if a story or side mission asks for it to be
changed. The day has four types of day it can be, the game will rotate through these
cycles:
Early morning when the sun is slowing coming up

Normal day when the sun is fully out
Evening when the sun is going down
Night when the sun is fully down and the moon is shining
1 hour game time = 5 minutes real time
Each cycle of the day last for 5 hours game time = 25 minutes real time
Full day of in game time = 100 minutes real time
Fast travel
The player can choose to fast travel in the game which helps the player as they dont
need to run across the map every minute. Fast travel points are made available
through the story when the player reaches different parts of the city, once the player

Player and customization

In the game the player has the ability to randomize what they look like or go into the
customization screen and make their own.
There options of customization the gender of the character, there head and body
type.
The player can choose between 10 different template heads that will form the base
us of the players face, they can then go into the head settings and change the
characters nose, eye, mouth, ears, eyebrows and chin.
The player also can change their body type, these body types consist of different
sized bodys ranching from skinny to fat.
The player recovers health over time after been damaged automatically, so the
player doesnt not need any items to heal themselves.
Levelling up
The player levels up by gaining exp from killing enemys and completing missions
offline and online
Max level:60
the players stats will automatically increase by 1 each time they level up
The player uses the skill point acquired from levelling up to buy a new skill
in the skill tree.

Enemies level up with the player to keep the game challenging
Karma system
Once the player has completed the first act of the game they will be granted a karma
meter which takes all of the decides the player makes and turns it into good or evil,
for example in every story mission after act 1 the player must choose a good or evil
thing to do in that mission, if the player keeps doing bad stuff in missions then the
player will be represented as evil, but if they are good and make the right decisions
then they will be respected.

chosen and detective, which all three classes share. Each time a player levels up they
get to choose a skill from either tree, although some skills may require for the player
to have purchased a previous skill to unlock another. Although the players can get all
skills and spells they will have to put lots of work into the game, so the player will
have to choose wisely which will hopefully create unique characters for all players.

which the player must use different strategys to take them down. Here are three
examples:
Thugs

far distance and try and flak the player, and if they are close enough to the

Banishes

These are creatures from hell, which are mutated beasts with four legs and
horns. There are usually in groups of other enemy types and they are usually

they come in to close. The player as many options including their own fists to attack
which is the lowest type of melee and which is the default option of the attack. But
the player can find, create of buy new options.
Baton
This weapon is good for players wanting to deal lots of damage to their
enemys but the weapons swing is very slow
Switchblade knife
This weapon is more suited to the stealthy players as the weapon can quickly
take down enemies with silent take downs, using the weapon as an effective
attack is quick but does bad damage as it is only goes quick slices.
Brass knuckles
The brass knuckles are for the players who have no other option other than go in and
attack, this weapon deals medium damage to enemies and dispatch them quickly.
Guns
The main weapon that the player will uses are guns, and the player will be able to
buy and upgrade them for money. Some guns are exclusive to some classes and cant
be used by the others. The weapons will be split into sections: assault rifles,
submachine guns, pistols, shotguns and snipers.

Magic
Magic is used as the secondary attack option after weapons, all classes have different
magic attacks exclusive to them, the exclusive magic is separate and less powerful
than the classes abilitys and is used for more tactical options, these spells also have
a longer cool down time than any other magic, there will also be spells that can be
used across all class types well.
The different type of spells that can be used are fire, ice, earth, wind and undead,
which type of magic has their own unique look. Some magic can only be used if the
player has the right intelligent state, so the player must choose his clothing wisely if
they want to use all of the spells they want to use in the game. The players only way
to defend against enemy magic is to cover or doge out the way.
Below are the exclusive magic that the classes can used and also some example of
ones that can be used by all classes:
Exclusive magic
enforcer- damage dealer
This magic is used to help the player take more damage than unusual,
although the spell only gives an extra 15% health to the player, the spell
cannot be used to easily destroy enemies, it is used more to help the player
out of a certain death encounter if they are struggling.
spectre- overload
This magic spell is used to give the player some breathing room if they are
being overwhelmed by enemies, once he player activates this spell the player
will unleash a massive magic blast that will deal massive damage to whoever is
caught in it. Unfortunately this spell takes the longest out of the three
exclusive spell to cool down as it is very powerful
infiltrator- blur
This magic spell is to teleport the player to another location to get out of sight
of the enemy if they are in trouble of dying, this is extremely handy as the
infiltrator is stealth focused and if they get spotted by a enemy then they can
quickly disappear and become anonymous again.
Spells that can be used by all classes

status
This spell allows the player to suspend enemies in the air so they can shot
them ore attack them with another spell.
rocket
Fire a blast of energy at your enemy to deal medium damage
freeze
This spell freezes an enemy in place leaving him wide open to be attack or to
be sneaked around.
Damage calculation
Damage calculation determines what damage the player can do to the enemy
Gun damage example:
M4a1 does 10 per damage each bullet that hits the enemy, if the enemy has only 100
heal then the player will only need 10 bullets to hit to kill them, if the enemy has
armour which gives them 20% more health, then the player will need 12 bullets.
Melee damage:
The baton deals 50% damage to any thug, but it does not deal damage to armoured
thugs or any type of armoured enemy.
Magic damage:
The spell rocket deals 250 damage to all enemies and also takes of armour, so it will
take 2 rockets to take down an enemy at 500 health
Critical damage:
Critical damage has a 10% chance of hitting any enemy using any weapon (critical
damage is a skill that needs to be unlocked in the skill tree)
Clothing
The only way the player can increase their stats in the game is to equip different
clothing. The player can equipped clothing to four parts of his: head, hands, legs, feet
and torso. All classes can equip all of the clothing options in the game. All clothing
also increases the players armour which helps the player take more damage.
Clothing can also be enhanced with spells if they are taken to a shop, this can help
the player increase more of their stats.
Headgear in the game protects the players head and face area from taking headshots
that will kill the player instantly. There are multiple different head gears to use in the
game and they can be upgraded with special, the torso its the main place that the
player will take damage so like the headgear they are multiple options that the
player can use to help protect themselves. Torso clothing has the most armour
points than another part of clothing.
There are also special head gear and hand gear that the player can obtain in the form
of necklaces,rings and watches, both of these items are every expensive and always
have a buff on them to help the player.
