About High Entropy: Challenges

✦ AI summary

High Entropy: Challenges is a free action-adventure FPS that lets you tackle 15 levels using hacking, stealth, combat, or creative problem-solving to complete objectives and unlock alternate endings. It's an immersive sim inspired experience where multiple paths and approaches are always available, with optional command-line hacking challenges and achievements that reward different playstyles.

Use computers (via GUIs or the command line), unlock doors, crawl through vents, fight enemies head on or find other ways to neutralize or avoid them...

Challenges

High Entropy: Challenges is a free, action-adventure FPS (inspired by some of my favorite immersive sims) consisting of a beginning, 15 levels, a default ending and a special ending if you finish with a 100% score in all levels.

Command Line Interface / Fists vs Shadows

The computers in the game include a command line interface for those interested in overcoming some obstacles the 'hacker' way, but the levels are designed so there's always an alternative way to advance (except once as an introduction in level 7, and the exact commands needed then are written in a document next to the corresponding computer). Some secondary objectives and achievements require its use, but there are manuals placed around the levels that gradually introduce how do it.

Also, some of the levels offer multiple paths to solve them, being able to choose a more action oriented approach or a stealthy one, and include some achievements related to this (Path of Fists, Path of Shadows...).

High Entropy

Hopefully, High Entropy: Challenges is a fun stand-alone gaming experience by itself, but it was also made to serve as a way for people to help me test my ideas out and see if creating High Entropy --the extended, commercial version I have in mind-- is viable and something people would enjoy (it would include this challenges mode and an exclusive story mode).

✦ AI summary

Players praise this free puzzle game for being genuinely fun and engaging with solid mechanics that deliver satisfying 3D puzzle-solving, especially for those who enjoyed Portal. However, some find the level design becomes repetitive over time, with certain sections requiring tedious waiting for slow-moving enemies during stealth segments that can feel tiresome.

pretty well made for a free game, it's a pretty challenging but enjoyable, unlike other games where they force you to choose one option to solve a problem, this game gives you different ways you prefer to solve, either being stealthy, or fight through it, some levels is easier to do stealth and vice versa, my favorite would be computers, feel satisfying to finally understand how to use console and such

Good game, the level design is a bit of a... let's just say the level designer is a jokester. Come on, it's free, give it a go (Make sure to deactivate Vsync and make the graphic settings be a little lower, this consumes a lot on default settings). Remember: always check behind your open doors
