After World War II, history took a terrifying turn. Spain and Portugal joined the Axis. The Third Reich crushed Europe, defeated Britain, and signed a steel-fortified non-aggression pact with Stalin. The world is now divided:
☠ Nazi Europe – An oppressive empire of fear and control. ☭ Communist Asia – A powerhouse standing in opposition. 🗽 The Free World – A fragile alliance of neutral territories, including the USA.
Amid this chaos, one woman fights back.
You are Rebekah Razor, a war-hardened fighter from the International Brigades who fought fascism in Spain and WWII. Captured behind enemy lines, you've spent years imprisoned in a Nazi fortress hidden deep in the mountains, subjected to horrific experiments.
Now, an opportunity for escape arises. But between you and freedom stand guards, war machines, and monstrous experiments—the twisted results of Nazi science.
You have one mission: Kill everything in your way.
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled shooter experience. Stay tuned for more updates!
