The game is set in New York City as a virus infects people and the military attempts to put an end to it.
The protagonist of the story is named Alex Mercer, who has enemy-absorbing and shapeshifting powers.
He can take memories, experiences, biomass and physical forms of enemies through absorption. Alex can
also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack, defense or sensory enhancement. All of these
together are intended to give players multiple ways to complete their objectives. Parallel to the game's
storyline is the ability to play the game as a sandbox-style video game giving the player free roam of
Manhattan. New York evolves over time from a troubled city, to an all out war zone with BlackWatch
fighting infected humans of various mutations, Hunters and Hydras. Alex can free-roam around troubled
and war-torn New York free to do missions or just run around the city killing people or consuming them.
