First-person shooter where you're John Blade, head of HardCorps security, hunting scientist Elexis Sinclaire through Freeport City—a near-future metropolis blending New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo aesthetics. She's engineering mutants to reshape humanity, and you've got a hacker and a rookie infiltrator backing your off-the-books takedown. Combat leans on location-specific damage (headshots matter), melee options, and environmental kills. Enemies coordinate—jetpack troops cover each other, mutants adapt mid-fight. You'll shoot specific car parts off vehicles and reposition inside them during firefights. Runs on Source engine with interactive props and reactive NPCs. The dynamic difficulty system tracks your performance and adjusts enemy behavior in real time. Released episodically in 2006, so this is chapter one: expect 3-6 hours, with choices supposedly affecting later installments.
