Deserter

In this stealth RPG, play as a deserter forced to become a thief in a grim, war-torn town. Use lock picks, crowbars, grappling hooks, dynamite, and the environment to create alternate routes, stay in the shadows, remain quiet, or distract enemies with loud noises.

In a world of total control and endless war, you play as John Holden, an AWOL soldier trapped in a grim, war-torn town. Survive and escape the damned city by breaking into houses, stealing food and medicine, improving your thieving skills, and influencing the fate of its citizens. Use a wide range of tools and devices, from lock picks and crowbars to grappling hooks and dynamite. Take advantage of the environment by finding or creating alternate routes, staying in the shadows, moving quietly, or using loud noises as distractions. Welcome to the City, where the Party monitors every step. Behind the scenes, ideologies clash and power struggles never end. Heartless bureaucrats fill government halls, while looters and smugglers operate in the streets. Behind closed doors, people dream of freedom, and plague rules the slums. Shape your own playstyle through an intricate RPG system with nearly 100 diverse skills and talents. Develop John across eight mastery paths to become an elusive pickpocket, skilled hacker, or charismatic con artist.
