Take on the role of a Secret Service Agent... Think like one... Act like one... Fight like one.
From Revolution, the developers who brought us the widely acclaimed Broken Sword series, In Cold Blood is an intense story driven 3D game with an equal balance of action and adventure elements. With strong attention to graphical detail, mission based objective progressions, and dramatic cut-scenes, the action never stops, leading up to the thrilling conclusion.
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 favor 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 hard line racist general, Dmitri Nagarov who seized power several years earlier and genocide ensued. 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 it is an epic espionage game which interweaves a strong narrative with 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 clear that the traitor must be very close to him?
