About the Game

Story

Russia, May 1918. In the midst of a civil war, the Bolsheviks have recently seized power. Tsar Nicholas II has abdicated the throne, and has been placed under house arrest in Alexander Palace. You're a diplomat sent to negotiate with the new regime, but instead are suspected of being a spy. Thrown into prison, you face a grim fate. But one night, you have a nightmare. A gruesome scene - a dark, dingy basement, covered in blood, with walls covered in bullet holes. Seeing dead bodies of young women and men, you realise it's the Tsar's family. Waking up in a cold sweat, you make a decision. When the morning guard comes in to check on you, you'll kill him, take his gun and make your escape. The Tsar needs you.
