Despite Electronic Arts shutting down BioWare, the Mass Effect series still has many fans who have no intention of saying goodbye to their beloved universe.
Specially for them, photographer Ekaterina “Ogni creator” Andreeva and cosplayer Svetlana Kladova shared new photos. During the photoshoot, the model appeared as Commander Jane Shepard from Mass Effect 3 and attempted to recreate the protagonist's nightmare scenes.
In these nightmares, Jane slowly runs among the black silhouettes of trees, guided by children's laughter coming from afar. The player controls the slowed movement of the character trying to catch up with a boy running among the branches, but the distance between them never decreases.
With each new dream, the atmosphere becomes increasingly ominous: the fog thickens, and distorted, otherworldly voices begin to sound in the background. These are the whispers of squadmates who perished in previous installments, blaming Jane for their deaths or reminding her of the cost of war.
The climax of each nightmare is always identical and tragic. When Jane finally approaches the boy, he is suddenly engulfed in ominous red flames, and the space around shudders with the Reaper's characteristic blaring horn. In the final, third dream, the boy runs toward an adult figure and hugs her. At that moment, the camera changes angle, and the player sees that the child is hugging the Commander, after which both instantly burn in the fire.
