Mission 1545

Mission 1545 is a stealth game set in a vivid, colorful version of Tudor London. You guide Willa through seven gate-towers along the London Wall on her way to the Tower of London, avoiding traps and guards. You cannot fight back if you are spotted, so you must choose a safe route through each level. As you explore, you can eavesdrop on the ghosts you awaken.

The gate-towers

After checking in with Priory HQ, Willa enters an isometric recreation of Newgate Jail, where she must dodge the self-loathing Jailer. At Aldersgate Theatre, backstage is filled with exotic props and toys, and the masks have the final word. Cripplegate Hospital follows, where mercy killing is recommended. At Moorgate Inn, an excursion to Bedlam is on offer.

The final stop before the Tower of London is Aldgate, where brewers are treated like rockstars and their attic becomes an enchanted Hop Forest. The Tower combines fact and fiction, bringing together Henry VIII, a couple of his late wives, Beefeater guards and the Executioner. Willa must find the Royal Mint, win the Crown Jewels, and locate the cell holding the prisoner; the Tower also contains an Armoury and a palace labyrinth.

Tudor London

The game features over 50 settings across Tudor London. Its lore is presented through hand-drawn animated cutscenes and voice acting, accompanied by a smoky medieval electronica and choral soundtrack by composer Martyn Ware.
