Fresh from the trauma of a horrific plane crash, you try to make sense of the environment you are in. You landed in the icy depths of uncharted waters with not even a remote possibility of help in sight, but somehow you have survived. In discovering the undersea city known as Rapture, you can't believe your luck when you realize that you won't succumb to the freezing cold water. However, your journey has just begun into a land of grisly discovery where every second is a fight for your life. Uncover the secrets of the city of Rapture, a failed utopia whose founders and residents had experimented with genetic engineering before their beautiful city was overrun with anarchy. Explore the structures designed in a rich Art Deco style and encounter incredibly authentic water effects and environments. Despite its name, however, Rapture is not always a pleasant place to be, as you will have to decide whether to use the survivors of Rapture to your own benefit or become a hero in their emancipation. Customize your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins and your body with genetic modifications to mutate yourself into the ultimate fighting machine.
