Description
Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect. As players determine how to accomplish different objectives, the decisions made and actions taken in each mission will ultimately transform the type of secret agent Michael Thorton will become. Every choice the player makes as Michael Thorton will carry consequences for his future and the fate of the world.

Fun action game

This game has some flaws but it is very enjoyable and unique. It still holds up as there's very few games like it nowadays

A typical Obsidian flawed masterpiece.

Solid narrative and dialogue (along with choices actually mattering for once) but with too much jank prevents this from being a 5 star. Game really could use a proper remake.

Game is good, but it has some trouble spots that can be pretty bad. Overall I liked it but I lso get why it can get bad scores.

Brilliantly jank

Has glitches here and there. A dice throw on whether someone will detect you but Mike Thorton is my favourite protag in an RPG
