Story
It's the year 2045, 13 years before the apocolapse began. Most of the population of Earth has evacuated the planet to the Moon due to a terrible war, but some people still live on the Earth. From the ashes of war rises NEXUS Co., a corperation that is formed to kill the rest of the remaining enemy forces on Earth. One day, they are sent a distress signal from Ontario, and now you must rescue the poor souls left in the haunted and invaded cities...

Gameplay
The game is a FPS/Survival Horror game with Open World elements. The game uses a weather system that actually reads what the weather is on the day that the player plays. There is a feature that reads the players heartrate as they react to ambiant scares (strange voices, shifting objects, banging sounds, ect.). The game also recognizes your face and voice, as you are the character. You will sometimes have a squad of 4 people or you will be going in solo. Your basic objectives in each level is to rescue all the civilians and kill all the enemies in the levels. Each city is modeled after the real life counterpart. There are also onus missions from around the world, but the main story takes place in Canada and the United States of America.

 * In the mission "Take a Stand!", there is a central focus on the sins of the world, and the misery and suffering of Mika and The Player, which leads to a graphic, yet failed suicide attempt by Mika. Of Course, you stop her, but this can still be quite shocking to new players.
 * In the DLC Story "Demons", The Player has a flashback, where we find out that before the apocolapse, he was hanging out with Mika, and was attacked by soilders from the earlier Hellspawn Corps, and was shot while the kidnapped Mika. In the mission "ANTI-666", there is a graphic, but failed ritualistic sacrafice, as the soilders try to sacrafice Mika to The Old One.
 * Most to All GIB effects were removed
 * The Language hasen't been removed
 * Mika's suicide attempt was mostely censored, as the screen blacks out when she holds up the gun to her head, instead of when the player ran towards her, telling her to stop.

 * The Full suicide attempt in "Take a Stand!" is shown, and uncensored.
