Gamers will have to navigate a web of intrigue and make decisions that could determine the fate of the world.Set in the British-American sector of occupied Germany in the spring of 1949, you are a Soviet undercover agent who finds himself caught in the middle of an escalating confrontation between the intelligence services of the world's superpowers.
