Krafton continues the promotional campaign for The Callisto Protocol by unveiling the third episode of the documentary series which, this time, focuses on helplessness and humanity. "Usually helplessness and hopelessness go together, explains psychologist Andrea 'Drea' Letamendi. Both refer to loss of control." For his part, Robert Kirkman (the creator of The Walking Dead), affirms that as a screenwriter, it is important to put the characters under pressure so that, precisely, the public really feels this helplessness and this despair. "But at the same time, you have to include a reason for hope in your story, otherwise you risk losing the interest of the public," he says in stride.
"Callisto is not the kind of place where hope can be born, warns actor Sam Witwer, who will play Captain Leon Ferris. On the contrary, it's a place where no way out seems possible. And even if you managed to escape, where would it be to go? Into the space that wants to kill you more than ever?" Bill Petro (director of development) thinks it's particularly interesting to see how the hero Jacob Lee loses a bit of his humanity along his journey because he's forced to do things he doesn't. wouldn't have done in normal time. This is in line with the words of Scott Whitney (creative director) who indicates that the characters evolve throughout the adventure, and that in the end, they are no longer really the same people.
