About this game

Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix is a prequel to Fear Effect, exploring the histories of its original mercenary cast and the events that bring them together.

Players follow Hana Tsu-Vachel, a skilled assassin; Royce Glas, a counter-intelligence operative haunted by his past; Jakob “Deke” Decourt, a killer motivated by money; and Rain Qin, Hana’s close companion with a hidden secret. Their journey spans an alternate-reality Hong Kong, Hell’s Kitchen in New York City, the Walled City of Xi’an, the tomb of China’s First Emperor, and Penglai Shan, the mountain-island of the immortals.

The adventure culminates in a confrontation with Rain’s evil twin sister, Mist, where the player decides who lives and who dies.
