Englische Sprachausgabe: Amidst the roaring gunfire of World War II games like Call of Duty: World at War and the Medal of Honour series, Velvet Assassin offers a very different take on what the Russians called the Great Patriotic War. While those games are all about serving your country and glory, Velvet Assassin has you skulking around behind enemy lines, exploring the darkness endemic in conflict. You start the game looking down on the star of the show, Violette Summer, as she lies in her bed, morphine syringes scattered around her and two allied soldiers standing over her, trying to decide her fate. The morphine in Violette's system takes her mind back to some pretty dark places. She's a spy and saboteur sent behind enemy lines to slow German progress in World War II, you see. What ensues is a game of cat and mouse inspired by the real-life story of Allied spy Violette Szabo.
