Who do you play as in Captain Sniper?
A superhero detective whose duty is protecting civilians. The superhero framing is the character's identity, but the actual gameplay is precision sniping rather than anything with powers attached.

Stopping a planned attack. An order comes in that a group of terrorist organisations intends to target civilians, and completing that order — preventing the attack — is what each scene asks of you.
