Storyline
The German army has begun its invasion and is applying huge pressure for Rotterdam's surrender, despite the Netherlands' wishes to remain neutral during the war.
You are an MI6 agent codenamed "Sparrow", tasked with counter-espionage, and to aid Dutch authorities with maintaining their hold on Rotterdam.
However, rumours claim that a couple of spies have already infiltrated the heart of the city and thus any decisions you make will reach the enemy's ears immediately. You must find and neutralise these spies.
Will you bring the fight to them, Agent Sparrow?
