Who is Humanity's True Enemy?
-----------------------------
Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast
paced and intense battle for humanity against
androids called the "Hallow Children" in 2080 Tokyo.
Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city,
players control an international peacekeeping squad that soon
starts to question their surroundings and the
choices they make, especially as they realize that
the androids appear to think that they are human and
they witness the dramatic divisions within society. In the face
of this struggle the question becomes, are these these robots
becoming more human, or are humans becoming more
like machines?

Gameplay and the Consequence System
-----------------------------------
Gameplay in the campaign of Binary Domain is single
player and mission-based, but uniquely interactive.
Players assume the role of Dan Marshall, the leader
of a multinational squad of commandos known as the "Rust
Crew." The different characters of the squad each have different
skills and personalities which must be exploited.
Players are always Dan, but also command all other
squad members, communicating with them either
through a headset or via their controller. As players progress
through the game they build dynamic relationships with AI
squadmates based on the overarching cause and effect
component of the game known as the Consequence
system. Within the Consequence system, the player's
competence in command, as well as their demonstrated
understanding of their squadmate's skills, and even
the way they talk to squadmates determines the
a of trust each has in Dan. Maintaining a high
level of trust ensures that commands are followed, whereas a low
level of trust can result in the site. Players
can only take a certain number of AI squadmates into
missions, and with some skills being exclusive to
certain characters, maintaining relationships is crucial
in the fight against the Hallow Children and the player's
survival in the field. The Consequence system also
affects the way that the campaign of the story plays
out, with the use of different characters in
different situations influencing events and outcomes.
