Enter New York, 1920 - a city pulsing with ambition, corruption, and deadly rivalries.
In Silent Authority: Blood & Bourbon, every street is a prize, every deal a risk, and every ally a potential traitor. From the bustling docks of Brooklyn to the velvet-lit jazz clubs of Harlem, the city is a living organism, breathing, changing, and waiting to be claimed.
You start with nothing but ambition. Recruit loyal enforcers, seize rackets from the shadows, and weave your influence through the city’s underbelly. Every move shapes your legend, drawing the eyes of rival kingpins, crooked politicians, and watchful lawmen. In this world, power isn’t earned, it’s taken, one brutal step at a time.
Blending ruthless empire-building, cinematic real-time combat, and cutthroat underworld politics, Silent Authority delivers a living, breathing city where no two crime dynasties rise the same way. Territories are taken and lost in blood, alliances forged in smoke-filled backrooms and broken in gunfire, and your road to power will be paved with bribes, bullets, and spilled bourbon.
Create your character. Customize your appearance and define your core skill set from the start. Allocate attributes, select practical advantages, and shape a boss that fits your preferred approach—whether built for resilience, intimidation, or efficiency. Your choices directly affect performance in combat, events, and operations, forming the foundation of your rise in the city.
Build your style: distribute your attributes, unlock advantages; dominate the field through choices like an intimidating stance, a solid physique, quick recovery, an extra weapon slot, and expanded loot capacity. Every choice shapes a more influential profile in events or a more resilient posture in combat—this is where your playstyle takes form.
Dynamic events keep the pulse high: reports, inspection raids, rival alliance offers, mole suspicions. Bribe, intimidate, or disappear; each method affects your income, street reputation, and your crew’s trust in different ways. High profit usually comes with high Pressure.
Manage your front business: assign a manager, upgrade levels; track the Cost / Laundering / Earnings flow daily-weekly-monthly. Launch Smuggling with a single click, balance profitability and risk, and expand your operation chain. Grow your vault through fronts like restaurants, tailors, and shoemakers; every upgrade brings new opportunities and efficiency boosts.
Build your crew, set the operation, move quietly: distribute tasks, regulate the flow, collect the outcome. Run the front, feed the vault, stay unnoticed; sense danger, change course, evaluate risks. When the knock comes at the door, decide fast flip the table, seize the advantage; read the board, decode the data, refresh the plan. Lower Pressure, raise Respect, and rule the city from behind the curtain.
