Amazing job with this game! Creative light mechanics for a stealth-rogue experience. Neat little story for this game. There are neat puzzles as well. Artistic design was well done. I hope this group of students did well, and continued on with other games! Highly recommend if you want to play a neat stealth game, and support the students who made this game.
A very nice game, took about half an hour, was very well made
its gerat for iQ players
Short but fun little stealth game. Not too difficult but still engaging little puzzles. I'd recommend playing it if you're looking for something short but sweet to play.
At first when I started playing I found it a bit boring but like a few minnutes into the game i was hooked on it like CRACK pretty well done and amazing for a student project but still could be WAYYYYYYYYY more given the right amount of budget, time and creativity ngl Overall too short but quality short NOICE.
