Revenge solves everything...
Set in the industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored follows Corvo Atano, a legendary bodyguard to the Empress who is framed for her murder and
forced to become an assassin to seek revenge on those who conspired against him. Atano is aided in his quest by the Outsider, a powerful being
who imbues him with magical abilities.
The game is played from a first-person perspective and allows the player to tackle a series of assassination missions in a variety of ways, with an
emphasis on player choice. Missions can be tackled by stealth, combat or a combination of both. Exploring levels opens new paths and alternatives
for accomplishing mission goals, and it is possible to eliminate all of Atano's targets in a non-lethal manner. Magical abilities are designed to be
combined to create new, more powerful effects.

Dishonored takes place in the industrial city of Dunwall, modeled after late 1800s-early 1900s London and Edinburgh, that is ruled over by an
oppressive regime. In the city, technology and otherworldly forces coexist. Dunwall is a center for fishing and whaling, with whale oil a valuable
resource necessary for powering the city. The city is stricken with a plague spread by rats and dogs that is killing the poor and isolating the rich.
The infected, known as "Weepers", cry blood and can become violent against others. The government uses the plague as an excuse to take
or purge citizens as they wish. Order is maintained by the Tallboys, heavily armored officers on tall, mechanical legs, and districts are separated
by Walls of Light, barriers made of energy that disintegrate those that attempt to cross them.
