Scenario Description: Hadley’s Hope, jointly funded by Weyland-Yutani and the United Americas, has a “them and us” feel to it, with any visiting corporate folk looking down their noses at the colony’s labourers. Despite this, the colony has been developing well. There’s opportunity aplenty—and risk aplenty, too.
Four days ago, a wildcatter named Russ Jorden was brought back, infected with something. He died, and some snake-like parasite disappeared into the guts of the base. Security has had no luck catching the thing, and somehow more people were infected. Rumour has it that some of them have died, and that there are more of these snake-things than Supervisor Simpson is admitting to. Simpson spoke over the intercoms, calling for calm.
Hope’s Last Day tells the story of the final hours of Hadley’s Hope, all through the eyes of five colonist workers. It offers a brief taste of Cinematic gameplay and drops the players straight into the action. The pre-generated characters all have their own Agendas, Buddies, and Rivals, but together they have one desperate collective mission: to escape LV-426 alive.
Trigger Warnings: Violence and character death.
Pre-Generated Characters: Yes
