How it feels

A tense, improvisational stealth game where you feel hunted and must scavenge weapons and gadgets to survive behind enemy lines.

What players say

Players compare it to early Splinter Cell games, praising the slow and methodical stealth but noting heavy backtracking through reused areas. The game shifts from a stealth focus to action in later sections, and opinions split on whether the dated controls and janky physics are charming or frustrating.
