A Guard’s Life is Never Simple
In the heart of Haensburg, the largest medieval megapolis ever known, the sun rarely reaches the cobblestones. You are a young guard, fresh to the service and utterly confused by the tangled web of corruption you’ve been sworn to protect. Beyond the towering walls of Haensburg, the ancient forests breathe with a darkness of their own. Within those twisted boughs, things far older than the city’s politics wait for a guard to wander too far from the torchlight.
The Man of Iron: Shadows of Haensburg is a first-person action-adventure that thrusts you into a political crossfire where your sword is as important as your silence.
