In the icy North Atlantic, a heavily fortified German research facility has gone silent. No transmissions. No patrols. No signs of life. You and a small Allied task force are being deployed to investigate. The mission is clear: assess the threat, secure any intelligence, and report back within 72 hours. But when you set foot on that island, it becomes clear—this wasn’t a simple weapons facility. Something went wrong here. Something the Reich couldn’t control. And now it’s your problem.
