The game concentrates on movement, and aims to expand and reinvent the sense of movement which is currently lacking from first-person games (in the words of senior producer Owen O'Brien, "to place you in the world and convey the strain and physical contact with the environment"). Although the player character can hold weapons, O'Brien stresses, "Principally, this is an action adventure. We're not positioning this as a shooter - the focus isn't on the gun, it's on the person."

Though set in seemingly utopian city environment with low crime and clean streets, the world is also one inhabited by an authoritarian government regime and unbridled levels of surveillance. In this world of communications monitoring, the only way to deliver confidential information between parties is to employ couriers (called runners) to physically deliver the information. The player character controls runner Faith, employing parkour inspired movements to reach her destination. Aside from Faith there are rumors of other potential characters to choose from. This information comes from one of the official site's administrators.

I'm really looking forward to this game, it looks awesome. I sure hope there's free roam. That's the one aspect that made Spiderman games fun, well, at least for me.

That's what parkour/free running is. Game has potential, I think the idea of it sounds like loads of fun, but I'll have to see how well they can execute said idea.

That's what I was thinking. Lot's of things could make this good, but bad at the same time.

Let's hope it doesn't have linear progression...
