Teaming up with María gives everything a new dynamic, and plus, the Nazis are back! They were the main baddies in the last game, and my God do they make great villains (the only good thing I’ll ever say about Nazis!), but they’re not the main villains this time, and they only really appear in this chapter, so I want it to be super-memorable, and for them to have lots of chances to be evil and terrifying during their brief moment in the spotlight. I really want this to be a standout chapter. One problem - our hero is a wanted criminal in Germany, because of how they defeated a wicked Nazi plot back in the first game! So they team up with their bitter rival María García Pérez, who also happens to be a wanted criminal in Germany because of stuff she did in the last game, in an uneasy temporary alliance, trying to help each other stay alive until they make it safely out of Germany. In the fifth chapter, they learn that they have to go to Wewelsburg, a creepy castle in Westphalia, in Germany, which is, at the time the story is set, under Nazi government. On the way, they have many adventures, and face off against a number of factions and rivals who are trying to kill them or stop them completing their quest.
