The Contract

The Contract is a cancelled PlayStation game by Psygnosis. It was to be a third person action mob mafia actiob game.

Plot
The year is 1973. Some of Coluscha family has been massacred. It is up to you to avenge them.

You play as two mob henchmen, Simon McClaren and Natasha Morland. The objectives change depending on which henchmen you play as.

Gameplay
Simon was to be stealth-based. Natasha was to be the violent aggressive one. That's the opposite of what I expected.

There was to be 30 missions set across sixteen unique environments. You've got the streets, prison, the sewer, naval ships, and more.

There was to be more than 50 weapons. There was also going to be 20 stealthy moves.

Development
Psygnosis enlisted Andy McNab to help advise the dev team.

Cancellation
The Contract was cancelled near the end of 1998 for unknown reasons. Perhaps it was due to Syphon Filter, which looks and plays similarly.
