You are Richard B. Riddick, a convicted criminal with a record as long as _War
and Peace_. You are the most wanted man in the known universe, and you have
just been captured and arrested. You are being transported to Butcher Bay, a
triple-maximum-security prison, the deadliest prison ever built. No one has
ever escaped, and those who tried have been killed. Will you be the first?

As Riddick, you must find your way out of the prison and to safety. You begin
in a cell, and soon, hell breaks out. You are left with nothing to defend
yourself, so you must find a machine which will allow you to use guards
weapons, otherwise you will be shocked, as they are DNA protected.

Throughout your adventure, you will explore the prison complex, caverns,
mines, the triple-security area, and even the palace area, where all of the
administration is housed.

To help you escape, you will have access to a small but deadly arsenal of
weapons, such as a pistol and machine gun. There are a number of melee weapons
available too, like a wrench or shiv (shard of glass).

You will have to take on several different enemies, from guards to prisoners
to robotics to mutated humans, also called ‘dwellers’ who lives deep below
under the prison.

Vin Diesel voices Riddick. The game is a prequel to the 1999 film Pitch Black,
which first introduced Vin Diesel as Richard Riddick, the anti-hero.
