Description
A spy-themed experience set in a Moscow government office, overlooking the city. Players act as undercover agents tasked with decrypting Cold War events—Truman Doctrine, Berlin Blockade, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Space Race, etc.—to uncover the name of a double agent. A WebGL version retains puzzle mechanics and historical data for browser play.
