Otherwar: Secrets and Shadows
Overnight, the City of Nymmegenn has become infested with shadows and spies... And you're one of them. Whatever your origins, whether you volunteered, drafted, or even blackmailed, you are a spy for the New International League, a coalition of states trying to keep the ideal of International Law alive through mutual cooperation, pooling resources... and not being afraid to use knives in the dark against their foes. Nymmegenn may be a garden city, but that just means more places to bury the bodies. Your task is to investigate the seeming death of your partner, the Stonne defector Svetlana Dragases. Both of you were going after a USB concealed in one of the garden city's townhouses, one inhabited by the rich and powerful yet politically inconvenient. Then came an explosion, a luxury building being lit on fire, and after that, waking up in a Hospital that knows discretion with holes in your memory. Did Svetlana truly die? Was she ever truly a defector? If she did and she was, what secrets died with her? And if she hadn't died at all... what is she planning?
