About the Game

Let the noises guide you in The Tsar’s Secret. An isometric 2.5D stealth game about infiltrating the Tsar’s palace. The chore mechanic allows you to change between 2 different modes: Tenebris & Silentium. Choose between deafening or blinding the palace guards, but be careful! It will also affect how you see the game.

2 GAME MODES



Tenebris
Nullify the sight sense. You and your enemies will navigate the palace just by hearing: noises such as footsteps, the fireplace or the tick-tocking clock on the wall will guide you. The waves created by sounds will reveal the map. Stay still and the enemies won’t catch you.

Silentium
Nullify the hearing sense. You and your enemies will see everything, but every sound will become distant. Move freely, but be careful not to get in their line of sight.

THE STORY



"When I arrived to Mitrovia I only knew my mission, but I didn’t know that the outcome of The Conflict would depend on me. Only I have the powers that can save my country."
Enjoy a story narrated by Grigori, the main character, with voice over acting. Grigori is a double agent with the mission of stealing classified documents from The Great Conflict. Their nation awaits for him to return, but the palace of Mitrovia is full of guards patrolling the corridors. Thankfully, he knows how to control ancient powers and alter the senses with occultist magic.
Will you be able to achieve the undercover mission?
