Manchester Part 8: Level Walkthrough

Cameras
·         Short directional camera will play in Cabin 01 when the player interacts with the coffee machine (this is a tiny "mission").
·         An interactive cut scene will play in Cabin 01, when the player interacts with the woman who is now sat in front of them. The player can look to the right and left, but has no control otherwise. After awhile the player will excuse themselves to the bathroom and leave, cut scene is over at this point.
·         In between cabin 01 and 02 a directional camera will show the Enemy stand up in Cabin 01, implying that he is going to follow you.
·         A directional camera will play at the end of Cabin 02, when a toilet door suddenly gets the player temporarily stuck, this will trigger a directional camera that will point to the suspicious man in Cabin 01 that started following you (The Enemy), at this point the man is starting to speed up slightly, while pushing things out of his way in an aggressive manner.
·         A directional camera will be played in Cabin 04, triggered when the player interacts with the luggage in the room, the  camera will show the player throwing luggage at the antagonist, making him fall to the ground, temporarily slowing him down. Player is free to run when the cut scene has ended.
·         A cut scene will play in Cabin 05, once the player has entered. People in this cabin will grab the protagonist and try to slow him down, assuming he is drunk. The player will try to break loose from them, until the antagonist runs into the cabin and is grabbed onto as well. As the people in the  cabin realise he's a tough guy they all let go off the protagonist to take care of the bigger threat in the room. The cut scene will end here and the player can run into the next cabin, again, the enemy is temporarily slowed down.
·         A directional camera will be played in Cabin 06, quickly showing the player the room and the locked door at the other side of the small room in the cabin. This will imply the door is locked and hint that the player needs to find something to open it with.
·         Once inside the other room in Cabin 06, there will be a quick directional camera showing the player walking towards the cabin window. The protagonist will try to open the window, but fails this attempt. This will imply the player needs to find another way to open the window.
·         In cabin 07 there is an interactive camera, showing the player kneeling down, in order to solve the combination lock on the safe door, after this a" window" will pop up allowing the player to solve the puzzle close up to the safe.
·         In Cabin 10 a directional camera will play, showing the puzzle to the player (it will show the levers between each door, implying they have to be interacted with)
·         In Cabin 12 a directional camera will play showing the player walking on the fragile bridge as it falls apart and the player will fall down into a room full of crates.
·         Inbetween Cabin 13 and 14, outside the train after the player has entered the cabin window, a directional camera will go into 3rd person and show the player hugging the wall (if they have done so, if not it will show them dying.)
·         An interactive directional camera will play while the player is climbing the ladder and crawling on top of the train in Cabin 15, also when the player jumps down into the top window.

WALKTHROUGH







CABIN 01

1a)  Player walks into the train, sits down for a little bit.
2) Player decides to get coffee (this isn't optional), player goes to get coffee, cut scene will play showing the protagonist using the coffee machine (yellow box).
1b) Player goes back to their seat, at this moment a woman (green dummy) is sat in front of the protagonist. This triggers an interactive cut scene where the player (blue dummy) can look to the right and left. Dummy in black can be seen on the left of the camera, giving the player a dirty look. This is meant to make the protagonist uncomfortable.
3) Protagonist excuses themselves in order to go to the toilet (because the protagonist is feeling uncomfortable and wants to get away). When the player goes through the door entering Cabin 2, a directional camera will play showing the black dummy standing up.



CABIN 02


1) The player is walking towards the toilet (no option to run up yet), but temporarily getting stuck due to a passenger getting out of the toilet with the door wide open and the passenger being big in size as well.
2) When this happens (the passenger gets out of the toilet), a directional camera will show the black dummy (enemy) getting closer, pushing people out of the way while yelling "You, wait!".
3) The protagonists proceeds to push the yellow dummy (the passenger as mentioned above) out of the way, ending in yellow dummy falling to the ground. There was no option to run up until this point, but now the player can run away from the black dummy. Player runs through and goes into the third cabin.





CABIN 03






1) Player runs through Cabin 03, nothing of importance happens here, the player only runs through Cabin 03 to get to 04 (this just adds game play time).
2) The player can hear the enemy's footsteps at this point. The enemy will yell "Hey, you there! Wait!" in an angry tone. 


CABIN 04



1) Player can interact with luggage, which will trigger an animation (2)
2) Directional camera and triggered animation. The player will see the protagonist throwing luggage at the enemy, slowing him down temporarily (a minimum of 3 will have to be thrown, so 3 interactions with the luggage).



CABIN 05 (interactive cut scene)




1) Player runs into cabin 05. People (grey dummies) presume the protagonist is drunk and grabs onto him to slow him down. Two dummies will say something, the first will say "You've had one drink too much, I see." and the other, "Show some respect!"
2) The enemy runs into the cabin. The passengers will realise he is a bigger threat and they let go off you to stop him.
3) At this point the protagonist will run out of the room, while the enemy is being slowed down by all the passengers.




CABIN 06  (2 rooms in 1 cabin)



1) When the player gets into Cabin 06, a directional camera will point to point 1, where a door will be locked, implying that the player has to find a way to open it.
2) The key is located here, in the yellow little box. The green boxes are lockers and drawers, that  the player can have a look in, while looking for the key.





1) When the player has unlocked the door, and enters the other room in 06, a directional camera will show the player walking towards 1, trying to open the window here, but fails this attempt at opening it.
2) The protagonist speaks to himself "There must be something in here that can help me open this door." The player is free to look in any of the blue boxes for tools. There are 4 tools that can be found, in one of the boxes the player can find a crowbar, this is what is needed to open the window with. If the player decides to use the other tools they will simply break or not work.
3)  When the player interacts with the window using the crowbar, a short cut scene will appear showing the player opening the window and climbing through it, landing on the narrow platform outside.


CABIN 07






1) This cabin doesn't really exist to the player, it is off limits. The player will be able to see the cabin from outside but won't be able to see what is inside because the windows will be  covered up from the inside. The player can still walk past cabin 07, on the platform. The player has to balance on the platform (which will be a mechanic showing up as a bar with a ball on it, that can go all the way to the left or right depending on how well the player is balancing, if the ball goes all the way to either side, the player will fall off the platform and die).


CABIN 08



1) Animation/cut scene played here. It will show the player climbing into Cabin 08 through the window.
2a) The orange box is a safe, with a combination lock on it, the player has to hit the right numbers in a certain order to open the door behind the safe. A directional camera will point here once the player is in the room.
2b) Animation/cut scene when the player does the safe puzzle. Once the safe has been opened, the player is free to enter Cabin 09.


CABIN 09




1) Player climbs platform by platform, according to height. The path is obvious by the height of the boxes.
2) Here in between 2 and 3, there is a rope that the player can grab and swing to reach the next platform (3)
3) The player has to climb through the pipe here.

1) When the player has crawled through the pipe they will fall down onto the platform below and then jumps down to ground level to proceed the maze.








CABIN 10





1) This is a lever, every yellow square in this scene is a lever that has to be pulled in order to open the doors (red walls). Each door will fall back down, 2 seconds after the lever has been pulled, so the player has 2 seconds to enter each door but can have a rest in between them. 



1) The green boxes is machinery that will shoot lethal steam out, there is no way the player can avoid this as the doors are blocking their way. The player must run to grab the lever, and jump up and down to make sure they are not hit by the steam. 


CABIN 11



1) This is a lever the player has to pull down, once that is done, the machinery will be turned on and start moving.
2) This is the machinery, it consists of a long wall on each side to block the player out (no cheating) and a big metal steam instrument that will hit the ground every 2 seconds. The player has to move through them quickly to avoid them.




CABIN 12

****



CABIN 13




1) These, similar to Cabin 10, are steam shooters. The player has to avoid these and run through them, being allowed 2 breaks in between them, if needed.
2) Cut scene/animation of player climbing through the window.





CABIN 14






Another off limits cabin, with the player on a narrow platform outside (it doesn't look small here, but it would be in-game.)
1) The player has to hug the wall because a train will pass by and would kill the player if he/she stood near the edge.




CABIN 15




1) The player must climb the ladder here, and get on top of the train for Cabin
16!


CABIN 16



1) Players crawls on top of the train, with the enemy catching up to them. The player has to duck (holding down a key) when they enter the tunnel reaching the trains' final destination.

2) Window the player can kick through and jump down into the final cabin of the level.




CABIN 17



1) The player is  the final cabin and must run to the green door which is the exit. Once they have interacted with the door, the level ends. Finished!































































1) After the player has jumped from the pipe to the platform they will continue the maze from here and go to the right and to the north and continues to climb through the maze.
2) Player goes to the right from here and then jumps down to the left again on the lower platform to the south until they reach 3.
3) The player has to grab onto a rope here and swing down to the lower platform and then proceed to jump onto platform number 4 which is lower than the current one.
4) The player has finished the maze and can walk down the stairs and walk south and then to the left to exit the maze and enter cabin 10.
