⦁ Background story
Years ago, KnifeBoy woke up from a Coma with his Girlfriend Blue by his side. Not remembering anything from his past, this was for him, his own Birth. Jack and Blue informed him about his Past; "You are a Rebel Leader who has been fighting The New World Order and we are close to win!"... And they did... But KnifeBoy never had the chance to celebrate the new era. Soon after the fall of The New World Order, KnifeBoy was killed and a New Regime took a hold of the world "Anonymous".
This Game takes place soon after the rise of Anonymous, and it's up to you to save your Girlfriend, find your killer, and destroy the New Regime.
