If you love getting behind a role in an adventure game, Icarus: The Name of Vengeance is a must have. During this game, you’ll encounter a diverse group of others in Abrox: those wanting to disturb the city’s peace and those wanting to keep it. One example of villains are the Spiders. They attempt to claim the city’s business as their own through conquering its port and trading with illegal electronics and weapons. And, thanks to their accomplices, The Black Beards—a militia that enforces “peace” in the city—they can. With such an exciting basis for a game, it offers many branching plots.
Life of protagonist Sam Hucks

But his blessings quickly end when he returns home from work one day to discover his wife and daughter were murdered. Like anyone would, he immediately looks for comfort from his closest relations. But what he discovers along the way has a very different outcome: his family’s killing was anything but an accident.
