Countdown to Nuclear War
We need your help, soldier! The world has gone mad and is about to destroy itself with nuclear war. You must turn off the launch countdown in time, or we will all be destroyed!
You were a hero during World War II, but you were injured and captured during the push towards Berlin. Your country's new enemy used their mind control technology against you, turning you into a secret agent. For 40 years you stole secrets and betrayed your country. Now, you have suddenly recovered from this mind control and find yourself in what looks like the control room for a massive missile in the distance. You quickly realize you don't know where or who you are, what you have done, or who you can trust. The only thing you are certain about is you know you MUST stop that missile at all costs! Look around the control room and work to gather the 8 digit code needed to shut off the missile. And remember, the clock is counting down to the end of the world...
