As the story progresses, she tries to unravel the circumstances of Pope’s murder and rescue her sister. While Kate is arrested, Faith manages to escape. Faith and her sister, Kate Connors, are then subsequently targeted by Pirandello Kruger. During the events of the game, a popular politician, Robert Pope, is murdered. To transmit information without alerting the government, so called Runners, including the protagonist Faith Connors (modeled after Noelle Lynn), are commissioned. The game takes place in the gleaming, utopian unnamed City where everything is regulated and controlled by the City regime. The game deliberately makes use of strong primary colors, with outdoor environments predominantly featuring white and distinctively lacking in green.
Although the game is powered by Unreal Engine 3, a new lighting solution, which is able to reflect colors and create a lot of soft shadows, was created to give the game a unique art style. Inspired by chase scenes featured in Casino Royale and the Bourne films, Mirror’s Edge features hundreds of first-person animations to convey Faith’s movement and interactions with the environment. From the makers of the groundbreaking Battlefield franchise, Mirror’s Edge is an action-adventure experience unlike any other.
