In this stealth RPG, you play as a deserter who is forced to become a thief. Use a wide array of tools and gadgets to break through any locked doors and choose your destiny: enrich yourself at the expense of the elite or help the oppressed ones.
Deserter
SteamIn a world of total control and endless wars, you are John Holden, an AWOL soldier trapped in a grim, war-torn town. Use every available trick to survive and escape this damned city: break into houses, steal food and medicine, hone your thieving skills, and influence the fate of its citizens.

You'll have access to a rich arsenal of tools and devices: from lock picks and crowbars to grappling hooks and dynamite. Additionally, take advantage of your surroundings: find or create alternate routes, stick to the shadows, stay quiet, or use loud noises to cause distraction.

Welcome to the City. Here, every step is monitored by the Party, while behind the scenes ideologies collide and power struggles never end. Heartless bureaucrats occupy the halls of the government. On the streets, looters and smugglers run their business. Behind all the closed doors, people dream of freedom, and the plague reigns over the slums.

Craft your own playstyle with an intricate RPG system offering nearly a 100 diverse skills and talents. Develop your character across 8 different mastery paths to become an elusive pickpocket, a skilled hacker, or a charismatic con artist.
