It is at this point that Ryan announces you to be his own offspring, abducted and hypnotically conditioned by the crime lord Fontaine (who has been posing as Atlas) to obey any order that accompanies the magic words, "would you kindly". Having disposed of various addled underlings and disciples, all empowered and subsequently unhinged by Rapture's anything-goes ethos, you're asked by Atlas to confront Ryan in his office and avert the city's self-destruction. But the decisive blow, when it comes, takes the form not of a rip in the hull but a phrase. This is a world, in other words, that is very obviously gearing up to deliver a kick in the teeth.
But the broader suggestion is that fantasies of every sort are presumptuous, whether wrought from glass and steel or brought to sparkling life by the Unreal Engine - and in the groan of brass pipes and the buckling of cyclopean doors, you sense reality's hunger to fill in the gap, dragging the whole glittering edifice of video game design back into itself. As the city's founder and tyrant, Ryan may be the game's principal overweening visionary, dreaming of a society touched by Ayn Rand's Objectivism, in which great souls are suffered to wallow in their own greatness without paying fealty to the state, the church or the plebs. BioShock's ocean is both an all-pervading threat, insidious and mesmerising in a way the interplanetary void of System Shock could never be, and a continual reminder that every inch of Rapture is a wicked, unsustainable fiction. There are hints throughout this initial deep dive of some diabolical overarching strategy - the chains mysteriously tattooed across your character's wrists, for one thing, the velvety black water pressing down on Rapture's hull for another. On arrival, you're contacted over the radio by Atlas, a rough-and-ready man of the commons, who steers you toward the guns and quasi-magical "plasmids" you need to make headway against a population of one-percenters who have genetically engineered themselves into a state of screeching predation. The game (re-released this week in a new, remastered collection of the BioShock series) casts you as Jack, an anomalous chap who finds his way down to the rotten underwater metropolis of Rapture following a suspiciously well-aimed plane crash. Would you kindly bear with me, while I recap BioShock's plot? The death of Andrew Ryan is one of the most celebrated examples of statement-through-design ever committed to a disc, and the funny thing there is that it's also an admission of complete and total failure.
