Are those sentences correct ?

"I'll give you power.
The power to see.
No matter what happens
You will have a happy life.
I promise you.
Now tell me what do you see ?

-Nothing...
There is nothing there..."

I'm trying to make a video teaser of a game. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEEEKnjLfrA

I'm french and I want the teaser to be good enough. :3

Are these sentences correct ? can they lead to some misunderstanding or they are fine as they are now ?

Thanks !

Several of these are incomplete sentences. You need to combine some of them to make them complete. How you combine them will depend on your meaning.

Here are my suggestions:
"I'll give you power, the power to see. No matter what happens, I promise you will have a happy life. Now tell me,'What do you see?'." Another suggestion for the last sentence: "Now tell me what you see."

Some of them are not complete sentences, However, you haven't used full stops on the screen and I think they work.

Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestions. I'll be using them ! :3

So, in the video, as long as there is no full stops, it works. X]

One last question though.
Is "I'll give you power, the power to see" a correct sentence ?
Shouldn't it be like "I'll give you a power, the power to see" ?

Thanks again !

They both work, in my opinion. It depends on whether you are offering one specific power, or power in general through the power to see.

In trailers, we don't generally worry too much about the logical correctness of the words we use so long as they seem effective.
