About Nuclear Contingency
Nuclear Contingency is a top-down stealth game set in 1959, in the aftermath of the Korean War and the death of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. After the discovery of the A-bomb alters the global balance of power, US spies report that communist insurgents in former British colonies in Southeast Asia are building nuclear weapons. The CIA sends its top operative, Jack MacArthur, to investigate and, if the reports are true, sabotage their nuclear capabilities. Haunted by his experiences in the Korean War, Jack sets out to stop the threat to the US and its allies.
The mission
The story spans four years and takes Jack through Vietnam, Kongo, Cuba, Afghanistan and other locations. As a top field operative, you complete missions either by using stealth or by confronting enemy soldiers directly. If guards are alerted, they pose a serious challenge: a single bullet can kill Jack. You need to approach missions carefully, keep a cool head and aim steadily to stop the nuclear threat.
A political thriller
The story follows the changing power balance of the period and the origins of the insurgents’ nuclear weapons, with twists and turns along the way.
