Far Cry 6: DLC 3 - The Vanishing

​

OVERVIEW:

This mission is in collaboration with Netflix's "Stranger Things". This mission sees the player investigating disappearances in a destroyed village. This mystery leads them to a mental connection with a character named "Shest" who leads them to a secret underground bunker. There the player learns of Russian experiments in Yara, a missing dog, another dimension, and familiar deadly monsters. This mission was a large free update and features a variety of gameplay. I owned the majority of this missions design and setup, until around half way through it's production when I requested additional support to help finish some of the sections.
