Velvet Assassin Description

Take control of Violette Summer, a beautiful spy deep behind enemy lines during World War II. Intense stealth-action gameplay with a startling real-time lighting system and surreal visuals combine to produce an incredible gaming experience. Through third-person gameplay, sneak up on enemies and pull the pins from their belted grenades. Infiltrate a Gestapo prison and slip cyanide to your own men before the Germans make them talk. Slink through the shadows to finish off your unsuspecting enemies with a single, silent move. Through Violette's fever dreams, experience what she experienced. Walk where she walked. And kill those she killed.

Features:

Brutal assassinations

Stylized environments modeled after actual World War II locations

Adjustable skills allow you to change Violette's attributes to suit your playing style

Dynamic lighting brings an intense gaming experience

Use historically accurate World War II guns and knives to viciously execute your enemies

Stunningly vibrant environments as rich and haunting as the dreams and memories that inspired them.
