How it feels

A short, tense tactical stealth game where you navigate shadowy environments in the early 1990s, using darkness to avoid detection and complete objectives in a single sitting.

What players say

Players see a clear homage to Splinter Cell, but opinions split on execution. Many praise the sound masking and lighting, while others find the no-kill design, buggy AI, and lack of melee frustrating. It is a short, rough indie project that improved with patches, but first impressions lean janky.
