Description

In Spycraft: The Great Game, you take on the role of a CIA operative who must attempt to unravel an assassination plot that could topple the fragile peace established by the Cold War. Blending fact and fiction to create a contemporary story tied to real-world events, the game thrusts you into a dangerous world of intrigue where you must make significant moral choices and face the consequences of your actions. As you begin your investigation, you’ll discover that a Russian presidential candidate has been assassinated and the CIA has received a tip that the life of the US president could be in serious jeopardy. 
 



  • Spycraft: The Great Game is one of the first interactive entertainment titles to blend 35mm film, digital video footage, still photographs, and actual CIA stock footage with intricate 3-D puzzles based on real-life covert tactics and operations. Are you ready to make the first move in the "great game"?
  • William Colby (a former CIA director) and Oleg Kalugin (former Major General of the KGB) reveal secrets from the "great game" of espionage.
  • Master the tools of a CIA operative, surveil double agents, and intercept radio transmissions to infiltrate a web of rogue spies.

Fab '90s FMV thrills

This is just fantastic. I can't believe I never heard about it back when it first came out. A fantastic FMV investigation game that you'll love if you like the works of Sam Barlow (Her Story, Telling Lies...). My one major complaint is that it features far too many one-and-done game mechanics and it can be frustrating to learn something that you then never use again. Otherwise: just excellent stuff.

Great Game!

Outstanding game, great atmosphere, very good plot. Interlaced cinematics, but still pretty good at all. Must have. GOG, we want localized versions of the games too!!! Make this effort, every time is it possible.
