Plot and Level Objective

I know that the plot isn't as important as the mechanic or gameplay, but I feel like I should note it down anyway. It is inspired by the film Taken, as it is one of my favourite movies...

Plot:

Set in 1987, you take the role of Shaun Carter, an American, 42 year-old retired policeman. Carter's early, recent retirement was forced due to an injury.

Going back 3 years to 1985, Carter was responsible for the arrest and detention of a wanted drug dealer, Aldo Batelli, during a drug raid at his gang hideout. Batelli was sentenced 5 years for possession of cocaine, a Schedule I drug (Class A), with intent to distribute.

Back to present day, Batelli is released early due to bribes and crooked upholders of the law. He now seeks revenge. Carter comes home to an empty house with a ransom note on the dining table. It is then his task to retrieve his family, by any means possible.


Level Objective/Talkthrough:

The level takes place towards the end of the game, set in Batelli's villa, which with the notification of Carter's presence is full of Batelli's gang members.

The player will spawn near the entry gate to the villa, with two of Batelli's men patrolling the gate. Once past the gate, the player will be met by a number of gang members on the front lawn leading to the front door of the villa. Gang members will be located throughout the building, and the player will need to kill them in order to proceed safely.

Carter has a hunch that his family are in the basement, so the player needs to aquire the basement key from Batelli's office on the top floor, and get back down to the basement door. When Carter gets to the basement, he soon discovers that his family have been moved, with only two chairs, a rope, and bloodstains in sight.

The player will then be hinted to proceed out the back of the villa, where a secret passage at the back of the gardens can be found. Following the underground passage, the player will emerge in another suburban area, where he is met by more gang members, and the back of Batelli's car as he is driven into the distance, with Carter's family on board....
