Burn-9

Burn-9 is a political spy thriller in the tradition of Hideo Kojima and Tom Clancy, but you are not the soldier on the ground. Instead, you’re the one in the chair, coordinating the mission from afar.

When a top secret military research facility in the Antarctic goes dark, an elite strike force of cybernetically-enhanced black-ops super soldiers is dispatched to investigate and secure Burn-9 at all costs. Minutes into the mission, the helicopter is shot down.
There is one survivor… and you’re her only lifeline.
As the team’s Operator, you are physically safe behind your computer screen - but the pressure is relentless. Caught between the demands of the top brass and the reality on the ground, every piece of intel you gather becomes a decision: what to share, what to hold back, and who to trust. You’ll guide your agent, feeding her the information she needs to survive. At the same time, you’ll report up the chain of command, receiving orders that may conflict with what’s unfolding in front of you. 
Your goal is simple: get your agent to the objective and complete the mission.
Whatever it takes. 
Because there will be a cost.

A secret Antarctic base has gone silent. Your objective: secure Burn-9 at all costs.
This is your chance to prove you can handle the toughest assignments and make the calls no one else will.

You play as the Operator - managing logistics, counter-hacking, intelligence, and strategy as the voice in the ear and the eye in the sky. You’re miles away from the mission, connected to your team only through a laptop screen and a stream of biometric data.
You sit safely behind the glass sipping coffee … while they’re knee-deep in it.

As the eye in the sky, you have access to cutting-edge surveillance and intelligence systems - scanning for threats, collecting and collating data, and turning it into the real-time insight your agent needs in the field.
Then it’s on you to use that intel to guide her, direct her… and keep her alive.

As the Operator, you’re not just the eye in the sky - you’re inside their network. Breach their systems to disable cameras, unlock secure doors, and extract secrets you were never meant to see, turning every vulnerability into an advantage for your agent.
Use every black ops tool at your disposal to keep her alive. She’ll need every edge you can give her.

Epoch Base is meant to be an all-weather drone and vehicle research facility - operated by the United States, supposedly for the betterment of the world.But beneath it lies a project no one is meant to know about: Burn-9.
No one will talk about it…
And everyone is willing to kill for it.

The field agent under your command is Dodo - the tip of the spear, the one who goes in first… and the one who gets hit first. Today, the weight of the world rests on her shoulders. Trapped, alone, and without support inside a secret Antarctic military base, she has no one else to rely on.
She may be under your command but she has a mind of her own.
You’ll have to earn her trust, manage her state of mind, and navigate the fact that she’s on the ground while you’re just in the chair.

The top brass are watching - and they’re the ones calling the shots.

• Morrigan: the CIA spymaster: no nonsense, no humour, no patience.
• The Admiral: commander of the carrier fleet: a navy man… the Navy man.
• The Politician: the President’s Chief of Staff: a politician through and through.

They’re tight-lipped and have their own priorities. They won’t tell you what Burn-9 is… and they’re not about to start now.

An elite military force controls the Antarctic base, led by a commander respected as much for his principles as his ruthlessness. At his side is a handpicked squad of specialists - some of the most dangerous operatives in the world.
But the deeper you dig, the less clear it becomes who the real enemy is.
And every single one of them is hunting Dodo.

As the truth behind Burn-9 begins to unravel, you’ll have to decide who deserves to know what you uncover. Your agent. Your superiors. Maybe no one at all.
Every choice shapes the mission - and the people trying to survive it.

Although you’re hundreds of miles from the action, you’re at the center of this mission, you’ll be the one making the critical calls.
Manage your agent, navigate the competing priorities of your bosses, uncover what’s really going on and ultimately decide what path to take.
Your choices might save the world… or end it.
