❤ Gameplay Overview

You take on the role of a clone tasked with navigating through a deadly facility filled with obstacles, security robots, and other hazards. The core gameplay loop revolves around planning and executing precise movements to avoid detection and reach the exit of each level.

❤ Stealth Mechanics

The stealth aspect is a key focus, requiring you to carefully navigate levels while staying out of the light to avoid being spotted by security cameras and enemies. Your "Stealthing Goggles" provide visual feedback on your visibility, changing color to indicate whether you are hidden (green), partially visible (yellow), or fully exposed (red). This encourages you to use the environment and shadows to your advantage, such as turning off lights or finding other ways to stay in the dark.

❤ Platforming Challenges

In addition to stealth, the game features tight, responsive platforming that requires quick reflexes and precise timing. Levels are filled with obstacles such as moving platforms, lasers, and spike traps that you must navigate, often with the added pressure of avoiding detection. Balancing the need for speed with the requirement to remain stealthy creates a unique challenge.

❤ Level Design and Progression

The game is structured into 8 main sectors, each introducing new gameplay mechanics and level gimmicks. As you progress, you encounter a variety of challenges, such as hacking terminals, avoiding patrolling security robots, and navigating through complex, multi-layered environments. The level design is praised for its creativity and the way it gradually ramps up the difficulty, forcing you to adapt your strategies.

❤ Equipment and Replayability

The game features a variety of equipment that can be unlocked and used to tackle levels in different ways, such as a camo suit, decoys, and teleporters. While not required, these items provide additional options for experimentation and can be useful for achieving higher scores and completing levels more efficiently. Each level is graded based on factors like time, deaths, and number of times spotted, incentivizing you to revisit levels and optimize your performance.

❤ Community Content

The game includes a level editor that allows players to create and share their own custom levels, extending the game's longevity and providing additional challenges to tackle.
