❤ Immersive Stealth Gameplay

Players take on the role of Sporey, a master thief, and must use their senses, wits, and a variety of tools to break into guarded buildings, remain unseen, and steal valuable loot. The core gameplay loop revolves around carefully navigating through environments, avoiding detection by guards, and finding creative ways to bypass security systems.

❤ Light and Sound Mechanics

The game emphasizes the interplay between light and sound as crucial elements of the stealth gameplay. Players must pay close attention to lighting conditions, as a light gem in the HUD helps gauge their visibility. Different types of flooring produce varying levels of sound, forcing players to tread carefully to avoid alerting guards. Mastering the balance between light and sound is essential to successfully ghosting past enemies.

❤ Stealth Tools and Gadgets

Players have access to a limited set of tools and gadgets, including a blackjack for knocking out guards, a sleep dart gun, lockpicks, flashbangs, and noisemaking toys. Reviews praise the creative ways these items can be used to solve problems and overcome challenges, adding depth to the gameplay.

❤ Challenging and Unforgiving

The game is widely praised for its challenging and unforgiving nature. With no mid-mission saves or checkpoints, players must be extremely careful and cautious, as a single mistake can mean restarting the entire level. This lack of a safety net encourages players to master each level's layout and guard patterns, leading to a deeply rewarding gameplay loop for those willing to put in the effort.

❤ Replayability and Speedrunning

While the game is relatively short, it offers significant replayability. Each mission can be completed in various ways, with the game rewarding players who find all the loot and secrets without being detected (known as a "Ghost" run). This emphasis on exploration and optimization appeals to both stealth enthusiasts and speedrunners looking to master the game's mechanics.
