Bioshock 3: Frozen Dreams

Everyone seems to jump to either space or under ground based.. But I was considering a different approach. Located above, or below (or both) the surfaces of either the North or South Pole, in the frozen wasteland; set in the late 50's; a small group of explorers are funded by Andrew Ryan (pre Bioshock) and set on an expedition to the pole to search for a special breed of algae believed to be found in the ice that hold extreme scientific value. If found, Andrew Ryan wishes to begin mining it (For undiclosed reasons).

You are Alexander Sloan, a decorated WW2 veteran, hired to lead this team of scientists. You have no dog in the fight, and are simply in it for the large sum of money. Shortly into the mission a storm hits/ice caves in, and you're team is wiped out. In the extreme blizzard you make a blind search for your boat and think you see water. Suddenly, appearing through the snow is a... lighthouse? Your character can't believe it, but trecks to it in hopes to find shelter from the storm. Apon entering you eventually discover an underground passage the Ice Utopia of Eistadt (German for Ice City).

Since there are insane theories that Hitler is alive in an ice fort (seriously not kidding, google that Lol); I thought it would be cool to play off that the Nazi's retreated and have been here, studying that same frozen Algae, and having invented the Plasmid type powers. This Nazi Utopia plays off the same racist, White Priveleged Columbia, possibly experimenting the plasmid effects on Jews/Other races; and also reinvents the WW2 theme of an American fighting Nazis in a completely different enviroment.

The main antagonist's has kidnapped and forced a German version of Letuche has invented a "Portal Machine" (possibly powered by his own daughter) and the main antagonist saw the Destruction of New York (Just as Comstock did) and believes he can pull this Flying Warship into our world in order to acheive world domination. They could maybe even have a Comstock type character that contacts them from the other realm, telling them he will help.

The city would be on the hinges of dystopia, but the main protagonist would be the one to push it over. The main antagonist's daughter could be the first to discover him. He would fight his way through the Eistadt to save her and after killing the main protagonist, he must decide whether to destroy the machine, or trust in the Father Comstock contacting him from the other side, that he is here to "defend America." He would use the girl one more time, which would fulfill Comstock's prophecy of a Lamb (In Bioshock: Infinite), and t he character would have then unknowingly unleashed Comstock's apocalypse on his own world.

BAM!

Sorry that was so long.. what do y'all think? :)
