Crystal Crypt is an original science-fiction story that I hope to develop into a hit video game. At the beginning of the story, the main character, Calvin Korman, a young former United States Air Force pilot, is helping to test a revolutionary new technology at the HELIOS Scientific Research and Development Center. This technology, a Gauntlet that grants Korman certain semi-psychic abilities, is derived from a strange living crystal that can change energy from most any form into most any other form. A mutated form of this crystal spreads through the facility via the explsion of the nuclear reactor that powers the facility. Korman must navigate the ruined halls of the facility, which are now lined with crystal and roamed by the horribly mutated humans and lab animals that were exposed to the crystal shards. These mutants are not always around, however. Most of the time, the crystals have a frosty white color, and Korman is free to navigate the ruined facility, but during specific intervals, the crysals turn blood red, and mutants start rising from their crystalline tombs, baying for Korman's blood. These timed sequences start out lasting only 30 seconds, with more time in between encounters. As you progress, these encounters become longer and more frequent. There are certain location-based enemies that must be killed to progress. The ultimate goal is to get out alive.
All in all, it's a promising concept, which I hope survives to see the mass market.
