About

Velvet Assassin is loosely based on the story of real-life World War II British spy and saboteur Violette Szabo. The player takes the role of Violette Summer, hospitalized and comatose in France (I think). While her protectors argue over whether it's safe to keep hiding her from the Nazis, Violette is lost in memories of her missions during the war... but when the Nazis find her location in the hospital, she's forced to take action despite her state.
