Pitch Deck: The Last Key

1. Genre

Primary: Open-World Action-Adventure, Third-Person Shooter

Secondary Elements: A strategic blend of genres to create a unique, multifaceted experience:

• RPG: Deep character progression (skills in combat, stealth, social), meaningful choices with narrative consequences, and a complex faction reputation system.
• Immersive Sim / Detective: Player-driven investigation mechanics, crime scene analysis, evidence gathering, and multiple-path mission design that rewards creativity.
• Stealth: Sophisticated systems for light, sound, and AI awareness that allow for ghost-style gameplay.

2. Idea

Logline: In the sprawling, corrupt metropolis of a near-future city, an undercover detective must walk the razor's edge between law and lawlessness, infiltrating a web of warring criminal factions to uncover a deep-seated conspiracy that threatens to tear the city apart. Every choice matters as players balance their police identity with their criminal cover in a living world that remembers their actions.

"The Last Key" is a "gameplay first" open-world crime epic that merges the cinematic narrative of story-driven adventures with the freedom of an immersive sandbox and the optional, player-empowering economy of Web3.
