The events of the game unfold during World War II, where a group of elite cryptanalysts is sent to a mysterious Victorian mansion hidden somewhere in Britain. Their mission: to help the Allies decipher the Enigma code, a complex cipher widely used by the Germans. However, things are far from straightforward. The Enigma code is powered by pure Chaos—a supernatural energy that threatens to break free and wreak havoc on the world.

To complicate matters further, the team of cryptanalysts harbors hidden secrets. Each member has a specific secret role, accompanied by unique goals that may not align with the group's primary mission. As they work to crack the code, players must navigate the intricate web of deception and supernatural forces that could spell the difference between victory and destruction.
