The story and missions are changed in response to the player's violent actions or lack thereof. Exploring each level opens new paths and alternatives for accomplishing mission goals, and it is possible to complete all missions, eliminating all of Corvo's targets, in a non-lethal manner. Missions can be completed through stealth, combat or a combination of both. The game is played from a first-person perspective and allows the player to undertake a series of assassination missions in a variety of ways with an emphasis on player choice. Several noted actors including Susan Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Carrie Fisher, Michael Madsen, Lena Headey, and ChloÃ« Grace Moretz provided voice work for the game.
