In Cold Blood for release soon on PlayStaion
In Cold Blood is an epic espionage game which interweaves a strong narrative with frantic action.
It is the near future – or it could be now. On the global stage, the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China are on the verge of war. This new cold war shows every sign of turning hot.
Over-stretched by the Chinese question, the CIA requests a favour from MI6, the British Secret Service. An American agent has gone missing while investigating a uranium mine in Volgia, a small former republic of the USSR. Volgia is run by a hardline racist general, Dmitri Nagarov – genocide ensured several years earlier when he seized power. London sends agent John Cord on what should be a straightforward assignment. What he discovers there, however, turns out to be anything but simple.
Trapped in a hostile country, forced to rely on uncertain friendships, faced with a situation that is becoming more complex by the hour, Cord has to depend on his own reserves of courage and ingenuity but with millions of lives in danger will they be enough?
In Cold Blood is an epic espionage game which interweaves a strong narrative with frantic action. The game starts with Cord hallucinating having blacked out, before coming around to find himself being severely tortured. All that he knows for sure is that he was betrayed, but he does not remember why or by whom. As the torturer interrogates Cord, he begins to remember his recent past, and as he does so, so the player learns about his character. The identity of the betrayer and the reason for the betrayal remains a mystery right up until the plot climax. As the story unfolds, Cord must infiltrate, sneak and shoot his way through increasingly dangerous locations, getting closer and closer to the ruthless mastermind behind a plan to trigger a nuclear holocaust. He teams up with a female Chinese agent in pursuit of a common aim. But can Cord even trust her, as it becomes increasingly clear that the traitor must be very close to him?
Gameplay
The gameplay involves exploration and combat through direct control of the character. Plot and obstacles are interwoven to deliver intense gameplay and ensure cinematic ‘suspension of disbelief’.
The game requires the player to explore his environment and interact with other characters to determine how best to achieve his objectives and piece together the background – and ultimately to determine who betrayed him and why.
The game is divided into nine missions. The first seven are presented as memories of the past, leading to the plot climax in which the reason for the betrayal is revealed, after which Cord must hunt down his nemesis. The missions build up a picture of what happened – and why. This mechanism allows the game to operate within an exciting and contemporary storytelling framework.
The player character is generally in a hostile environment and therefore under pressure. The gameplay pace swings from high action to stealth - depending on what the player does and how he approaches the game.
