About This Game

The prologue to Deserter is a free, standalone chapter that introduces you to the bleak world of the main story.

You are John Holden, a soldier broken by endless bloodshed and lies — witness to something that can’t be unseen. With no way back, there’s only one option left: escape.

Time is short. Each night is a chance to prepare, but every misstep brings you closer to death on the front lines. Evade the night patrols, steal supplies, craft tools, and strike secret deals with fellow soldiers. Can you make it out unnoticed? Or will you vanish in someone else’s war?

Key Features:

• A unique blend of stealth and RPG genres

• Stealth, deception, thievery, and careful planning instead of direct combat

• Atmospheric, detail-rich locations set on the front lines and inside a military camp

• Multiple escape routes with distinct challenges and consequences

• A grim dystopia filled with satire and dark humor
