Fear Effect: Retro Helix

    (Image, 2001-2002)
™ and ©2001 Eidos Interactive

Image has put together a story based on the hit video game from Eidos Interactive and the game developers at Kronos. This is a prequel to the Fear Effect Special, which was based yet another video game.

Taking place before the events of Fear Effect, we see beautiful assassin Hana Tsu-Vachel and her friend, Rain Quin are, as ever, finding things for that mysterious group known as Triad. Also popping up are familiar characters such as Royce Glas and Jakob “Deke Decourt.” The story starts off with a typical “recovery assignment” of encrypted genetic codes and a chase in the aqueducts of a futuristic Hong Kong. Eventually, through the Hell’s Kitchen of New York and the lost tomb of China’s First Emperor, our crew of heroes end up in Penglai Shan, a mysterious mountain-island and home of some dangerous immortals as well as Rain’s very dangerous twin sister, Mist.
