On the surface, CDV's Escape from Paradise City seems like an ꧙old premise done to death, but a supernatural thread woven in and out of its polygons is enough to tweak our interest.

Escape from Paradise City is an RTS-RPG in development for PC that drops you into the shoes of an NSA agent who has to go undercover🧜 to infiltrate the criminal underworld in Paradise City. Your goal is to climb the law-braking ranks to ultimate crime boss and then take out the crime lord currently ruling the roost.

Yes, we've heard that one a million times before but the crime lor♉d's "more than your average thug - or average human," CDV explains, with a hint that something far more sinister lurks behind the boss's hold on power.

The game world appears to be a dark and gritty dystopia, and you can view it for yourself inthesenew screenshots. Escape from Paradise City should be out later in the year.
