Legion Was Here

Legion Was Here is a dark-comedy spy deduction game. You play Legion, a secret agent who can change his appearance at will, taking on bizarre missions for unusual clients. To approach a target, you must pass yourself off as someone close to them, such as a husband, brother or son, then act in character to earn their trust. A misstep can mean death.

Investigate each identity

Each mission begins with a file about your new identity. Cross-reference its documents to work out the right appearance; every document matters, even a chocolate bar wrapper. You can also write notes on your left hand to help during the mission.

Change your appearance

Use the operating room to alter Legion’s age, hairstyle, nose, eye color and other features. More than 900 million appearance combinations are available.

Complete the missions

Once you have the right look, you can approach your target. The next phase uses visual-novel mechanics: multiple-choice questions test your ability to act according to your new identity and gain the target’s trust. Missions can unfold differently each time, and you can replay them to improve your score; a 100% score means you were fully credible.

Unusual clients

The game offers 3–4 hours of play and a wide variety of missions. Clients include familiar spy agencies such as the FBI and MI6, as well as ghosts from the past and amusement park mascots.
