Alekhine's Gun

Alekhine's Gun is set during the Cold War, from its early years after World War II through the Cuban Missile Crisis of the early 1960s. You play as Agent Alekhine, a highly skilled Russian assassin whose moral compass leads him into a covert operation unsanctioned by the country he once served. Working with American CIA agents, you carry out missions as the threat of nuclear conflict grows and the lines between enemies and allies become unclear.

Open missions

The game has 11 open levels set in locations across the United States, Europe and Cuba. Missions are non-linear: you can explore multiple routes and hidden rooms, choose among different ways to complete assignments, move freely through the environment and tackle objectives in any order.

Choose your tactics

You can shape each mission around your own strategy, using poisons, staging accidents or deliberately alerting guards. To improve your stealth ranking, create distractions, pick locks, wear enemy disguises, retrieve vital documents that reveal new information and use specialised weapons to eliminate enemies. Weapons are awarded after each level based on your ability to complete missions without attracting attention.

Cold War espionage

Cinematic cutscenes add intrigue, provide information to help unravel the plot and offer a historical perspective on the period.
