About the Game

Become Master of Spies, plant your connections, associates and agents in the underworld and slowly take control over the city.

Dispose of your opponents in many clever ways.

Bathe in treachery, choose who to join and who to betray.

Negotiate and manipulate different characters through fully voiced letters.

Immerse yourself in a unique and chilling atmosphere of mystery.

Decrypt & Decipher Secret Letters.

Solve Puzzles.

Uncover Mysteries.

Survive, by keeping your enemies at bay, the constabulary confused and your own lackeys on a short leash.

Choose your very own path in this hybrid of first-person and top-down experience.

The many tools in your disposal include treachery, espionage, abduction, influence, murder, schemes, plots, bribes, seduction, even the law. Use and abuse them in any way you fancy.

Are you a cruel boss of the underworld? Leader of a cult? Greedy and witty businessman? Maybe a secretive spymaster which exists only in rumours of myth? The approach you take may dictate eventually how everyone sees you in this cold-hearted world of espionage and treachery.
