For more info, check out the developer QnA below:
Will the main character fight alone, or will he receive reinforcements from time to time? If he will be accompanied, what he’ll have to do in the squad? Follow or maybe issue orders?
THEY is a first person shooter – not an always alone person shooter – expect here and there some story based events - but hey, it’s Mystery FPS! You’ll find out while playing the game and we don’t want to tell you all the fun upfront.
