About This Game



Step into the dying metropolis of Maratha as the feared mercenary ‘Chief', and join a gang of outlaws in the war against billionaire industrialist Dr. Sarkar and his violent attempts to rebuild the nation's greatest city in his own image.



This is a dark, grounded, character-driven crime drama, exploring the dreams, chaos, and mental turmoil of two broken men with clashing ideologies, brought up on opposite sides of the great bridge. It's the story of what it means for them to find the human inside them once again, and as painful as it may be, rediscover who they once were.



In this epic four-hour-long campaign combining intense first-person shooter gameplay with deeply emotional storytelling, you explore, shoot, drive, and wreck your way through the slow-paced, dialogue-driven story delivered through the 47,000-word-long screenplay penned by writer-director Adi Chandra.
