About this game

A grimy, neon filled immersive sim set in a dystopian alternate history 1972. Sneak, fight, and trick your way through a beautifully ugly city, and discover the world of Spectra.

It’s 1972, and an ascendant USSR is winning the Cold War against the United States, which has been in decline since a coup in 1933 deposed Franklin Roosevelt and established a fascist government (which almost happened in the real world.) You play as Number 6, one of the Soviet Union’s top secret agents, sent by your superiors to infiltrate the dystopian fortress city of Hiawatha and help spark a revolution by destabilizing the local warlord, a massive corporation called Saturn. Sneak or fight your way through a beautifully ugly city- approach mission objectives your own way- solve problems not puzzles. Use loud, quiet, and nonlethal ways to dispatch enemies; lay traps and spring ambushes, or knock guards unconscious and hide them out of sight. Better yet, slink through the shadows, or find a way to the rooftops and sewers, and pass by like a ghost. Use both mind and matter to infiltrate a diverse array of locations in service to the rebel cause, and discover the world of Spectra.
