Somewhere Above the City
I created SATC for the 2010 Summer Vertical Contest. Since it involved traversing a very long vertical distance up, I didn't want to ask the player to climb all the way back down. Instead, once the player has satisfied all objectives, a cutscene wraps up the storyline and ends the mission.

The scene takes place in the Builder church, with two actors: a guard and a bishop discussing the outcome of the previous night's events. Without giving too much away, let's just say that a defrocked priest named Penshawk stirred up some trouble, and the mission was to deal with it.
