deshonored

Dishonored is a first-person action-adventure stealth video game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was released in October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It is set in the fictional city of Dunwall, a whaling city inspired by Victorian-era London and Edinburgh, grappling with plague and political corruption.

Players assume the role of Corvo Attano, the Empress's bodyguard, who is framed for her murder and seeks revenge against those who betrayed him. The gameplay emphasizes player choice, allowing for a stealthy approach, direct combat, or a combination of both. Corvo possesses a range of supernatural abilities, such as teleportation and possession, which can be used to navigate the environment and overcome obstacles. The game's narrative and its progression are influenced by the player's actions and their level of chaos, affecting the world and its inhabitants.

Dishonored received critical acclaim for its immersive world design, flexible gameplay mechanics, and engaging narrative. It was praised for its innovative approach to stealth and its ability to cater to different playstyles. The game's art direction and atmospheric soundtrack were also highlighted as significant strengths. A sequel, Dishonored 2, was released in 2016, continuing the story in a new setting with new characters.
