A CLANDESTINE WAR IN THE BIG APPLE
Set in the cold, unforgiving streets of early 2000s New York, Rusalka Wrath is a hyper-stylized 2D action-mafia thriller. You are Yuri, an American undercover agent buried deep within a treacherous mafia hierarchy. The visual identity is a high-contrast tribute to the iconic Kill Bill anime sequence, blending a brutal noir atmosphere with the grit of early 2000s cinema. This is a tale of blood, espionage, and cold-blooded revenge.
TACTICAL LETHAL AND RAW
The underworld doesn't forgive mistakes. Master a visceral combat loop where every encounter is a high-stakes puzzle. Use the environment to your advantage. Slide through the grime to stun your enemies, manage your stamina to execute brutal finishers, and engage in high-speed shootouts. Every kill must feel intentional and earned.
BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER
Being undercover means living a double life. Your mission will test your loyalties and force you to make impossible choices. Engage in deep cinematic dialogues in intimate settings like Yuri’s apartment where the weight of your actions and your relationship with your brother come to the forefront. In the world of Rusalka Wrath your choices define who you truly are.
BEYOND THE BARREL OF A GUN
New York is more than just a battlefield. Between the hits, immerse yourself in the city's gritty lifestyle. Hustle rivals in fully playable 1v1 AI Billiards, risk your cash at the Blackjack table, or navigate the streets to uncover the truth.
