The Fifth Column

Description

June 1945, Manhattan—The city celebrates the recent surrender of Nazi Germany during WWII, but peril lurks in the shadows. A group of extreme Nazi loyalists has evaded Allied defenses and taken up residence in the heart of Manhattan, seeking revenge. With sinister plans brewing, the stakes could not be higher. Can you foil the plans of The Fifth Column? The game contains one full storyline made up of two parts, with dozens of puzzles to decipher and clues to crack. The game is steeped with real historical documents and facts as you step into the shoes of a WWII codebreaker. Internet access is required to view the Online Companion Guide to get hints, check answers, and progress the story. You may also use the Internet to help solve several of the puzzles. None of the puzzles require destroying materials to solve them so the game can be passed after playing. —description from the publisher
