  • Executing stubborn captives

The sanity value may also decrease after completing a mission. When the sanity value is too low, the player's perspective will change, colors will fade, and vision will become distorted.

The Pope proposed a ceasefire for Christmas, but the proposal was rejected by the officials of the warring countries. However, on Christmas Eve, a miracle occurred, starting with a few brave soldiers...
