Bahnsen Knights (2023)

Step into a turbulent world filled with religious extremism, destructive F5 tornadoes, and roaring Ford Sierras in Bahnsen Knights (2023). Players take on the role of Boulder, a seasoned undercover agent, tasked with infiltrating one of the most dangerous cults in the country. Known for their speed and ruthless methods, the Bahnsen Knights are led by the enigmatic Toni, a former car salesman turned charismatic leader. As Boulder, you must navigate a treacherous environment, uncover the cult’s hidden motives, and survive long enough to unravel the truth behind the disappearance of an old friend.

The Bahnsen Knights: A Deadly Cult

The Bahnsen Knights operate at a frightening pace, combining religious zeal with supercharged vehicles to carry out their plans. They follow Toni’s guidance as they perform bizarre rituals called ‘route exorcisms’ and claim miraculous phenomena occur on the road. Adding to the mystery, paranormal investigator Lou Hill is being held captive in a trunk, raising questions about the cult’s true intentions and the dangers that lie within.

Toni: The Enigmatic Leader

Toni, the cult’s supreme authority, preaches that Hell exists above rather than below, challenging conventional beliefs. Previously investigated by agent Cupra—one of Boulder’s closest friends in the Agency—Toni’s activities are shrouded in suspicion. With Cupra now missing, Boulder’s mission becomes deeply personal: uncovering whether Toni is connected to his friend’s disappearance while surviving the cult’s deadly schemes.

An Undercover Mission with High Stakes

Boulder’s assignment is unlike any other. Years of experience in the Agency do little to prepare for the personal and perilous challenges he faces within the Bahnsen Knights. Every interaction, every decision, and every moment carries the risk of danger, forcing players to carefully weigh their choices in a high-stakes investigation. Success means unraveling the cult’s secrets and taking Toni and the Bahnsen Knights down, while failure could be fatal.
