Threat

Threat (Kyoi - Sekai Ni Shi in Japan, translating to Threat - Death to the World) is an action-adventure open world game created and published by Scarce Gaming for the Nintendo 64 (Nintendo 64DD in Japan) on November 21, 1996. It focuses around the adventures of a pyromaniac/cryomaniac, Achim's war against the the twisted Police Force of Aldrick, Germany.
== Gameplay ==
The game plays similar to Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but instead of taking place in a fairy-tale land, it takes place in a crime-ridden city. However, there is not three action buttons, but instead one for Weapons, one for Items, and one for Misc. Actions.
=== Controls ===
* A - Weapon
* X - Items
* B - Misc. Actions
* Control Stick - Move
The game has multiple stories, which play out in levels, known as Missions. The game has 5 (technically 4, as two endings are the same, but different abilities) possible endings, two of which are given to each power (excluding Neutral, which only has one ending.)
The abilities use a levelling system. At every level
