What is Kontrakt?
Kontrakt is an action-adventure game about a hitman carrying out mysterious contract killings in the City of Light.
Its story explores schizophrenia, hidden truths, and secrets surrounding the city. Combat combines high-speed action with assassination planning: weapon selection matters, and quick reactions alone are not enough. The game includes 12 weapons with statistics that affect gameplay, along with weapon modifications and sentinel echoes to unlock. A kill can slow time, creating brief moments of heightened combat control. Kontrakt uses a visual style influenced by retro pixel art and includes an original dark soundtrack.
