If you have ever played the Resident Evil games for console systems, you will feel right at home playing In Cold Blood. In Cold Blood is not connected in any way with author Truman Capote's 1966 book, which was based on the killing of a rural Kansas family. In Cold Blood utilizes spoken dialog, puzzle-based action, and full-motion video to advance the story. Gameplay includes exploration of more than 100 environments and state-of-the-art spy equipment like communication computers, pulse-mines, motion detectors, and hacking units.

The mystery plays out through events seen as flashbacks while Cord is being interrogated. Gameplay is designed to take about 60 hours over the course of nine missions filled with infiltration, stealth, and third-person shooting action. You take the role of Britain's MI6 agent John Cord, who, at the request of the CIA, is searching for a missing agent. In Cold Blood is a three-CD adventure into a world of political intrigue and conspiracy set in Volgia, USSR.
