The Story
A glittering canal city of casinos, embassies, and ballrooms, where every flute of champagne is paid for with a secret. Here the master spy Agent 009 vanished without a trace in the middle of his mission. An elegant handler slides you his dossier across a table of green baize: find him, find what he knew, and do it before a rival does.
Agent 009 was hunting an artifact that could tip the fate of the Crown, and he was not the only hunter. Behind the masks at the gala lurk at least three other parties, and one of them wears no human face. Someone shifts shape and shifts allegiance, whispering lies that sound exactly like the truth, until you no longer know who is standing across from you.
You infiltrate the casino, win at the gaming tables what gold cannot buy, shadow suspects through halls of mirrors, and crack the cipher Agent 009 hid in his final message. This is an evening of intrigue, disguise, and double-dealing, where one wrong word costs you your cover and talking is more dangerous than fighting.
Then the mask falls. The master spy you seek never vanished at all: the Nameless Shape has worn the face of Agent 009 all evening, and the artifact lies within reach of his false smile. Will you unmask the Nameless Shape and seize the prize before the last glass is raised, or will the Crown itself slip through your fingers?
