2nd Lt. Nathan Frost is just a regular
grunt until he volunteers for a super-soldier
transformation for an international
army called the Liberty Coalition. A
painful series of surgeries gives Frost
extra-normal abilities via implanted
enhancements, which place him on the
frontlines of a war against a destructive
regime. After a military coup leaves
him stranded in hostile territory and
cut off from command with only a handful
of men, Frost must stop the militia's
secret weapon that threatens to plunge
the world into darkness.

they delve into the world of Project:
Snowblind. Players will be able to employ
different bio-enhancements to augment

dynamics constantly.
