This is the fourth and final chapter in Brilliant Digital Entertainment's Gravity Angels series of Multipath Movies. Each one of these interactive movies uses a proprietary video engine that renders animated scenes in real-time. In the course of the movie, players can make a number of 'decisions' that will lead the story down different plot branches. After the events of the first, second and third chapters, the enigmatic alien ship breaches the surface of Ganymede. Our heroes decide to pay another visit and stumble upon the ship's control room, where they will make a startling discovery. Time is running out for the team as they find out that Miller Western, the most powerful company in human history, knew all along what was going on on Ganymede. Company reinforcements arrive in strength and they have no intention of taking prisoners. The only thing left to do for Ty, Felice, Jazz, Reece, Bennett and the others, is to start making preparations for their last stand against this Death Force...
The protagonist of Cyberswine is, as the title implies, a cybernetic pig on a race to save CyberCity from a deadly virus. Helping him on his perilous mission is his partner, Sara Lee. The game is essentially an interactive movie done with 3D graphics. The player may interfere and choose the course of action for the hero.
Gravity Angels Part 3: Payback is the third part in the epic Gravity Angels saga of Multipath Movies. These are not 'games' in the strict sense of the word, but digitally animated stories, rendered in real-time by the graphic engine, which can be influenced by the viewer at certain points in the story line. After the events in the previous episode, the alien ship has started moving slowly towards the surface, gradually destroying the Ganymede colony in the process. The team has no choice but to go into the alien vessel and find a way to stop this. To add to the predicament, Green, the base sheriff, who is now alone but still at large, is moving to make sure that if he doesn't make it out alive no- one else will either. Our heroes split up into small teams to foil Green's sabotage plan and save the base. Many dangers await along the way and not everyone might live to see another day, but if they do, they'll make sure to get some... payback!
Gravity Angels Part 1: Alien Discovery is one game in a series of Multipath Movies(TM) by Brilliant Digital Entertainment. These games are pure interactive movies that display a movie that allows for the player to select among multiple paths at opportune junctures of the storyline. In that way, the game is a "choose your own adventure" movie. Unlike other games of the interactive movie genre, which generally display the movie bits using pre-rendered full motion video, this game renders 3D models of the movie in real time. The science fiction story of this movie/game follows a group of employees of the interplanetary mining corporation Miller-Western. For a variety of disciplinary reasons, the employees are sent to the Jupiter moon of Ganymede which used to have a thriving osmium-mining operation but is now just a dumping ground for problematic employees who assault their bosses or engineer faulty equipment because they were drunk. No one on the base is to be trusted, everyone is hiding a bevy of secrets and to make matters worse, every monitor across the moon base periodically picks up mysterious transmissions that appear to depict some unknown alien lifeform. Who are they? What do they want? Hence, the subtitle of the game, Alien Discovery.
Gravity Angels Part 2: The Betrayal is the second installment in Brilliant Digital Entertainment's Gravity Angels saga. Just like the first part, this Multipath Movie uses the in-game engine to render a real-time, three-dimensional, digitally animated story. At certain predetermined points in the storyline the player gets to choose one of multiple plot alternatives or paths that, while influencing the story, never change the actual outcome. Each Multipath Movie episode - they were originally available as Webisodes as well - runs approximately 30 minutes. We rejoin the team of rogue employees, introduced in the first episode, on Jupiter's moon Ganymede just as the Miller Western Corporate Conglomerate is moving to turn the mining base into a death trap. It soon becomes clear that the company will stop at nothing to secure its interests in the alien artefact discovered deep below the surface. Green, the facility sheriff and company henchman, receives orders to terminate any witnesses. All transmissions are jammed, company backup is on the way and that means there's only two options left to our heroes: death or a desperate fight for survival.
