How it feels

A tense, tactical stealth experience set in a decaying world, where you sneak through overgrown ruins then commit to punishing turn-based firefights.

What players say

Players compare it to XCOM with a heavier stealth focus, where silent weapons are essential. The difficulty spikes unexpectedly and players can permanently handicap themselves by scrapping starting gear, since there is no way to grind experience or currency. The campaign is linear and short.
