9 itemsAbout the Game
By day this town accepts you. By night, it fears you...
The lawless '90s have come to Severodvishchensk, a small, poor town. Its people stay silent. Its crime never does.
And everyone in this snowbound place — human or beast — owes somebody something.
YOU ARE A HITMAN.
A fox named Robert — the best killer in town. Your job is to ask your boss no questions. You take the contract, you pull the trigger.
But this winter, the web that holds the town together begins to tear — and every thread leads back to a heavy past you thought you'd buried...
LIVE BY DAY.
Walk the streets while they're still quiet. Explore new places — the bar around the corner, snow-covered alleys, abandoned buildings, and the apartments of gangsters.
Meet the locals and get to know them. Everyone in this town has a name, a dream, and a story of their own — the cat selling bootleg VHS cassettes, a best friend dealt a rough hand by life, a beautiful girl you just can't get out of your head.
Around here, connections weigh more than bullets. Too bad the memories of the past weigh more than either...
KILL BY NIGHT.
Every blood contract arrives at sundown. Fast, brutal top-down shooter: kick down the doors of mansions and labs, choose from 20 weapons, and finish the job before someone finishes you. Find the fighting style that works — and make it hurt. Your orders are simple: win.
