The Order: 1886

About the game

Set in an alternative London of 1886, The Order: 1886 places players in a city reshaped by science and industry yet living in fear of an ancient supernatural enemy. The protagonist is Galahad, a member of an elite knightly order fighting for humanity's future. His goal is to end a centuries-old war, and he relies on weapons and devices that are advanced for the period. Tension comes from several directions: rebels have declared open war on the order and the police state it stands for, while Half-breeds, described as mankind's true enemy, are gaining strength in and around the city. Among the tools at Galahad's disposal are the Arc Gun, Thermite Rifle, and Monocular. The story mixes real historical figures and events with fresh takes on familiar myths and legends, and transitions between action and narrative scenes are seamless. This third-person action-adventure shooter is built for one player.
