How it feels

You play as an accountant turned hunter, balancing the books with modern weaponry in a tense, first-person shootout where you are also the target.

What players say

Players are split on Transience. Many praise the gunplay and compare it to Splinter Cell or FEAR, but most criticize the clunky stealth, inconsistent and often overpowered AI, and long tutorial intro. Bugs that prevent firing and a poorly designed boss fight are also common complaints.
