Storyline
In a world of total control and endless wars, you are John Holden, an AWOL soldier trapped in a grim, war-torn town.

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.
