ACT 2a - DRAMATIC TENSION

ACT 2b - EMOTIONAL COUNTERWEIGHT

RESOLUTION

(N0;E0/1;K0)

The Order treats Esther as a role model - in their eyes he lived the ideals of their deity Asrasha. The hunger corrupted him, but he freed himself.

BAD ENDING. Esther stands alone. He is clothed in ceremonial clothes. Kalyk watches him from afar. The head hunters/huntresses speak of his journey. Esther is quiet. It fades to black. “END 1: THE CAGE:”


PATH A2

ACT 2a - DRAMATIC TENSION

(N0->1;E0/1;K0)

Esther meets Kalyk and together they defeat the first beast. Esther did not use the night essence and Kalyk takes him to the next town. Kalyk confesses that they are brothers and that he is relieved to have his "fixed" little brother back. Esther is surpisingly quiet. Together they defeat the second beast.

ACT 3 - CLIMAX+RESOLUTION

(N1;E0/1;K0)

If he wins this, he moves on to slay the Final Beast, and then escape. If he loses, he is imprisoned. Esther sneaks out and escapes. Finally free, he doesn't go after the final beast, and sets off on his journey, alone.

Bad end? Scene: Esther comes out of everything, looking back at the hunters order. His home for so long. His arm drips in the hunger. He has lost it all. He leaves the scene, the camera doesn’t follow. The screen goes dark. A text comes up “END 2: BOTH SIDES.”
