its a linear, altenate history fps game that's centered around a land invasion of Japan

Synopsis

>trinity tests dont happen until much later, and following the end of okinawa, japan is given the rest of the year to lick their wounds and prepare for an invasion
>operation cherry blossom is enacted against america, wiping out a very large chunk of the west coast (this will be a first playable mission)
>land invasion happens, with voluntary recruitment skyrocketing
>main goal is to capture tojo and force him to surrender
>for most of the game, you play as a US marine but there are a few levels where you play as a Soviet operator. these missions start in manchuria and end in northern japan. These missions are also less narrative-based and you're either operating a tank or plane
>towards the end, the trinity tests are successful and the nuclear option is becoming a reality
>US soldiers told to retreat. This is so they dont get melted by the blast and gives tojo enough time to flee tokyo as, at this point, the allies have the capitol completely surrounded
>as the player, you're given two options: leave or disobey and try to capture tojo.
>the reason why this is an option, is because your allies think they're retreating because the US is losing and they cant handle the idea of a retreat, as they've losing friends in the pacific or back home in the attacks
>'leave' option results in the final few missions covering a retreat and the ending plays out similar to how it did in our timeline
>disobeying means you capture tojo and just barely survive until you reach a hangar
>at this point, the 10,000+ unit has been thinned out to about 100
>0 contact to the US military as you're deemed MIA/KIA, so you cant update them
>about to escape
>nuke goes off
>plane you're in crashes
>stumble around the atomic wreck, viewing the horrors before succumbing to said horror
>Because tojo dies, the japanese are furious, and despite being nuked repeatedly, they decide to keep fighting
>roughly 3 years later
>truman, completely disillusioned, is said to have killed himself, to which his fictional vice president takes over
>the ending is a cutscene of the fictional president talking to the vice president, while war footage plays in the back, detailing how most of the japanese have been killed off
>its insinuated the japanese tried to surrender, but the americans butchered them; self-defence and revenge turned into an ethnic cleansing
>final image is a japanese flag that has had the sun cut out, which the japanese tried to use as a form of surrender as they couldn't manufacture white flags
>the sun being removed resembles the fall of sunrise land; japan

yeah, that's about it. Also, the cutscenes between missions + the ending would be similar to WAW, but instead of using historical footage, i'd create my own and make it look authentic.
