Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden

 DESCRIPTION 

The storyline of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, set in 1695 in the haunted wilds of North America, revolves around the intertwined fates of two lovers and Banishers (ghost-hunters): Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith.

Here's a breakdown of the main story:

• A Banisher's Oath and a Tragic Fate: Antea and Red are skilled in their craft, sworn to protect the living from lingering spirits. They travel to the colonial settlement of New Eden at the request of their friend Charles Davenport to deal with a powerful curse. However, their mission takes a devastating turn when they confront a powerful entity known as a Nightmare.

• Death and a New Beginning (of sorts): In the confrontation with the Nightmare, Antea is fatally wounded, becoming one of the very ghosts she loathes. Red is also defeated and left for dead.

• Bound by Love, Divided by Worlds: Red survives and eventually encounters Antea in her spectral form. Despite her aversion to being a ghost, Antea agrees to help Red get revenge on the Nightmare. Their primary goal is to find a way to either restore Antea to life or allow her spirit to ascend peacefully.

• The Curse of New Eden: The Nightmare's presence has plunged New Eden into an eternal winter and brought death to many. As Antea and Red investigate the source of the curse, they uncover a web of secrets, betrayals, and injustices within the community.

• Moral Dilemmas and Haunting Cases: As Banishers, Antea and Red investigate various hauntings throughout New Eden and the surrounding wilderness. These cases present them with moral dilemmas where they must decide the fate of both the living and the dead. They can choose to:

  • Banish the spirit to oblivion.

  • Ascend the spirit to a peaceful afterlife.

  • Blame a living individual connected to the haunting, potentially sacrificing their life.

• The Weight of Choice: Early in the game, Red and Antea make a crucial oath regarding her fate: either Red will do everything to bring her back to life, or he will honor his Banisher vows and help her ascend. This oath hangs over every decision the player makes, as blaming the living strengthens Antea's spectral form and is necessary for a resurrection ritual, while banishing or ascending spirits aligns with the Banisher's code but moves Antea further from life.

• Unraveling the Mystery of the Nightmare: Through their investigations, Antea and Red discover the true identity and tragic origins of the Nightmare, revealing a story of wrongful accusations and vengeful anger.

• Multiple Endings: The game features multiple endings that are directly influenced by the player's choices throughout the game, particularly the oath they choose and how they resolve the various haunting cases. These endings determine Antea's ultimate fate and the consequences for Red and the community of New Eden.

In essence, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a narrative-driven action RPG that explores themes of love, loss, duty, and the difficult choices one must make when caught between the world of the living and the dead. The central conflict revolves around Antea's spectral state and the player's decisions on how to resolve her fate while dealing with the supernatural threats and moral complexities of New Eden.
