You are a mercenary and hustler in the dystopian underworld of the East Coast Hub. Your clients are the global megacorporations and crime syndicates that wage covert wars for territory and the control of information, following the collapse of nation-states and world order. You are contracted to conduct sabotage, assassinations, infiltration and espionage.

Completing contracts unlocks more in a nonlinear branching structure that allows you to control your progression. Strike a careful balance between the factions vying for world domination or destruction.

Gameplay is powered by a systems-based simulation that emphasizes player choice.
Fully destructible environments add a layer of tactical possibilities. Plant explosives to create a backup exfiltration route– or to create a distraction to cover your escape. Open new routes and move between floors.
Pick locks, open panels, cut wires, and hotwire electronics with an array of detailed and realistic covert-entry burglar tools.
Detailed NPC AI tracks you by sight and sound, radios for backup, and notices evidence of the player's handiwork. Guards might be relaxed and distracted, or on high alert.
Talk your way out of confrontations by leveraging information, using your social engineering skills, or with items like fake IDs.
Hack through security systems, discover traps and sensors, remotely open door locks, disable alarms, steal data, and cover your tracks.
Use the planning phase to plan your infiltration and exfiltration points and scout a route through the target building. Insert onto rooftops from your helicopter, or sneak in through the sewers- it's up to you.

Grow your character from a low-level street punk to an expensive and highly-sought corporate assassin for hire. Outfit yourself with new cybernetic limbs, hardware and software, and weaponry. Deploy an assortment of tools and gadgets to defeat security systems, disable robots, and level the playing field against heavily-armed opponents.
