        In the early half of the 20th century, A man named Andrew Ryan, a former Soviet citizen, built a utopia under the ocean to escape the conflicts and turmoil of the real world. He recruits the best people in all their fields; scientists, athletes, artists, and so on and invites them to come live in his dream, the city of Rapture. Rapture was designed to be entirely self-supporting, with all of its electricity, food production, water purification and defense systems powered by volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean. This underwater world is decked out in an opulent 1940’s Art Deco style from everything to ads to the furniture to the architechture. It truely is a utopia indeed, except that the city is flooded and the hallways are littered with corpses.Those who were once the best and brightest of the world above are now insane and genetically altered, roaming the corridors.

It's quite obviously something horrible has happened here. Everything was fine in Ryan’s utopia, until a special breed of sea slug was discovered. This slug excreted what were super stem cells called “Adam.” The Adam was then refined into a usable format called “plasmids”. Plasmids are mutable DNA that allow people to boost their natural attributes, making better scientists, better athletes, better artists - better whatever you wanted to be. Plasmids rapidly became the most valuable commodity and war broke outin Rapture to control it. Unfortunately in the conflict, the slugs are eradicated, destroying the supply of plasmids. A new way of harvesting plasmids is found, but the source is disturbing to say the least.

As you survive a plane crash into the ocean and find the remains of Rapture in the 1960's, you start you journey through the crumbling city, trying to find out just what is going on. Fighting your way through the ghoulish inhabitants of Rapture trying to find a way to stay alive and to eventually escape.
