Lore & Background
It was designed with Art Deco architecture inspired by New York City's Rockefeller Center and Gotham City. The city relied on geothermal power from submarine volcanoes and grew its own crops, featuring living quarters, laboratories, medical facilities, and general shopping areas. However, the discovery of ADAM, harvested from sea slugs implanted in Little Sisters, led to severe wealth disparity and unrestricted genetic modification. By New Year's Eve 1959, a civil war broke out between Ryan's forces and activists like Atlas.
In Their Own Story
The protagonist, Jack, arrives via a plane accident over the mid-Atlantic Ocean where Rapture was located between Greenland and Iceland. The story involves surviving the ruined city, protecting Little Sisters from 'Angels' (ADAM-rich dead bodies), and navigating the power vacuum left after Ryan's death. A third model of Big Daddy called 'Slow Pro FUM' was cut from development but later appeared as the 'Rumbler' in BioShock 2.
