How it feels

Crawling through shadowy war-torn corridors, you feel the constant threat of detection and the weight of operating alone behind enemy lines.

What players say

Players call it an extremely linear stealth game where hiding in shadows is the only mechanic and combat is often forced. The game requires the Legacy PhysX driver to even run. Reviews split on the story and ending, which some find fitting given the real-life inspiration.
