About
Ghost of Bangladesh is a action-shooter-stealth game where you take control of two characters in 1971 and 2024, each playing vital role in victory of Bangladesh against opression during those times and therefore, the game is divided into two narrative-driven phases. In the first phase, you play as a freedom fighter in 1971, working to liberate a village occupied by the Pakistani military. In the second phase, set in 2024, you take on the role of a Gen Z character actively helping and rescuing people affected during a student movement. In both timelines, you embody a hero dedicated to protecting and supporting others in times of crisis. The main message of the game is whenever there will be need, a hero will always rise to protect and support the people.
