Chapter 4 - Not Alone in the Dark, Episode 1 - Zer0 Sum | Tales from the Borderlands

Tales from the Borderlands is an interactive adventure game developed by Telltale Games and Gearbox Software, set in the chaotic, sci-fi universe of Pandora. Released episodically, it blends Telltale's signature choice-driven narrative structure, cinematic scenes, and quick-time events with the Borderlands franchise's distinctive humor, cel-shaded art style, and lore. Unlike the mainline shooters, the focus here is on dialogue, character development, and narrative choices, viewed through the unreliable perspectives of two protagonists: Rhys, a Hyperion company man, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist, whose paths collide during a failed deal for a Vault key. Chapter 4 of Episode 1, "Zer0 Sum," titled "Not Alone in the Dark," marks a significant turning point. Following the chaotic conclusion of the Vault Key deal and the theft of the ten million dollars by Bossanova, this chapter focuses on the group's desperate attempt to retrieve the stolen funds. The adventure begins when Rhys uses Professor Nakayama's Hyperion ID chip to track the briefcase, leading them to a dangerous bandit camp. The chapter details the infiltration plan, with Felix staying behind while Rhys, Vaughn, Fiona, and Sasha venture in. The group splits, with Rhys and Sasha navigating through the camp via a hatch, while Fiona and Vaughn get sidetracked into a chaotic bandit race. A crucial moment involves the unexpected appearance of Zer0, a skilled assassin, who aids Rhys and Sasha against hostile bandits. Meanwhile, the briefcase ends up in the bandit race, leading to a high-octane chase sequence involving all protagonists. The climax occurs during the race as the briefcase is intercepted by Felix, who was waiting nearby. In a twist of betrayal, Felix confronts Fiona, taking the money. Players face a critical, determinant choice regarding Felix's fate: warn him about the explosive lock on the briefcase, shoot him, or do nothing, directly impacting whether he survives or perishes. This dramatic betrayal brings the initial pursuit of the money to an end and sets the stage for discovering the secret Atlas facility and the Gortys Project core, concluding the chapter on a note of uncertainty and shifting loyalties.
