Consortium:The Tower is a new single-player first-person science fiction immersive simulation created using the Unreal 4 Engine, and is set within the confines of a massive tower looming over Central London. Consortium is a story-driven first-person shooter RPG and the first game in the planned trilogy of games related to the iDGi-1 Discoveries lore. The game is set almost entirely on a futuristic aircraft called Zenlil, manned by a crew with chess-themed ranks.
The game features innovative conversational mechanics allowing gameplay to be uninterrupted by conversations: replies are bound to the function keys and an in game device allows for semi-telepathic communication. The other major feature is a deep and branching story, similar in execution to the Mass Effect trilogy, and a character alignment system: both of these allow for every playthrough to be significantly different, even to the point of allowing the player to reveal the meta-plot of the game. While the game is a first-person shooter, combat can be entirely avoided, non-lethal or lethal (in a similar style to Deus Ex), and is limited due to the size of the game world.
The game is set in the mid-21st century, in a timeline where most world militaries have been disbanded in favour of a technologically advanced world police force called the Consortium. The player takes the role of Bishop 6, an elite Consortium soldier stationed aboard the Zenlil, a futuristic aircraft. During a flight from Bulgaria to Ireland, Bishop 6 must deal with hostile mercenaries while trying to uncover the identity of a traitor within the Zenlil’s crew.
