Video Game

'Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. You are the very first Big Daddy as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and your own survival.'

Notes

  • Steampunk note: Like its predecessor, this game is set in an underwater city dominated by advanced anachronistic technologies. The political themes of the narrative continue the concerns with traditional steampunk territory of the relationship between freedom, power, technology, class and violence.
  • This series was indexed for the Steampunk project and as such contains only content to which Australian developers contributed.
  • AustLit does not comprehensively index video games.
