The Saboteur

The player can travel through Nazi-occupied Paris, the French countryside, and parts of Germany. [3] Color is an essential aspect of the game. Except for the irises of the characters’ eyes, city lights, blue symbols of the French Resistance, and various German symbols, bright red and complete with swastikas, areas heavily controlled by the Nazis are represented in black and white. Players must weaken the German forces occupying the site to make that district colored (“inspired” again). As a result, the citizens of that district regain hope, which is visually represented by making the area vibrant and full of color. This also impacts gameplay; in black-and-white regions, German soldiers are in large numbers, making it far more likely that Sean’s rebellious activities will be detected.
