game set during the Nazi occupation of
Paris during World War 2 being French

city lights and the red of the Nazi flag
shown in color if the Nazis control it
with the area gradually regaining its
full color if you liberate it from the
invaders

the creatures on the surface mutated by
the nuclear fallout as if all that

death so choose your allies wisely
number four bullet storm
crashing
