Story: While flying over rocky terrain and with fog impairing visibility, the helicopter pilot flying the Survivors to safety misjudges his clearance and crashes in the wilderness outside Beldurra's city limits. The pilot is killed on impact, and the Survivors are also injured in the wreck.
Beldurra: Rift is told as a prequel to
Beldurra.
Lost, injured and poorly provisioned, the Survivors must navigate through rocky valleys to get into a ruined city aquarium. Once there, they must guard a cart of replacement generators which will allow them to route power to additional lights/defenses in the finale.
They also find that they aren't the first to seek shelter in the Beldurra Aquarium. A research outfit has set up shop deep inside the aquarium, selecting the location because of its capacity for water purification, which is useful to both their research and for sustaining their ranks. They are developing a cure for the infection, and have had some success in early trials. Some of the treated infected even show signs of the disease's regression, though they are still too dangerous to be released into the wild. Instead, the researchers employ "recovering" infected in a sealed network of kiosks inside the aquarium, providing aid to the researchers and any survivors they encounter. Most of the recovering infected are still unable to talk, and are instead called "Orderly: Human, Autonomous Infected", or "OHAI" for short.
The finale takes place in the aquarium atrium, where the Survivors must hold out long enough for power to be restored to the doors, permitting exit to an escape vehicle. Available defenses will depend heavily on the number of generators successfully escorted in the previous map.
Actions taken or skipped in each map have consequences in the next.
