About Transience
In Transience, you become the hunter - an Accountant. Armed with the latest weaponry and tech, your job is to keep the books balanced... By any means necessary. Only this time, you are the intended target.
Single-Player Campaign A story told through the lens of Eli Reed, an accountant-for-hire who ends up on the wrong side of the gun. Redlisted and on the run, you must uncover the mystery of who placed the bounty and why. Utilize near-future weaponry to take out your enemies as you take steps to clear your name. Heavily inspired by gritty narratives we played growing up, the story unfolds in a way that keeps you at the edge of your seat. 9 missions spread out over 9 incredible hand-crafted environments, telling the story of one mans journey out of Transience.
Fully Voiced Dialogue
Combat and Stealth Gadgets
Multi-Approach Maps
Tactical Stealth Action
Inspired by many tactical games from back in the day, we aimed to combine the maneuverability and fluidity of a Third Person Stealth game, with the slower pacing of a First Person Shooter. Become the spectre in the walls, the shadow picking off survivors one by one. Sometimes staying out of sight is only one way to complete the objective. Sometimes a more active and aggressive hand is required. Transience offers the player a ton of ways to approach objectives, from Stalking in the shadows, Running and Gunning down corridors or a blend of both. Utilize an arsenal of customizable weaponry to make your enemies fear your presence. You are the accountant. Deep Weapon Customization
Powered by NWS™ (New World Systems) this industry-wide standard has allowed weapons manufacturers to interchange attachments and core parts at will. Take an SMG and turn it into an Assault Rifle or take an Assault Rifle and modify it into a DMR. Throughout the story, you will find attachments and weapons via stashes found around the environments that allow you to build and customize weapons on the fly. With 13 base weapons to discover throughout the campaign, NWS™ makes your survival odds that much easier.
A Whole New World
Take on the city of New Houston in the year 2056. Peace has been torn apart by a sudden conflict overseas, resulting in war-time prosperity. Government contracts are king, and advancement at any cost for the war effort drives industry in America. Corporations have gained so much influence from the new status quo that they have become the de facto law of the land. Currency is shifting towards digital under the government’s nose, funded by the innovative new technologies in their most dangerous forms being researched and shipped out to the war. Propaganda insists that the scraps of progress trickle down to the citizens, a half-truth. Access the advanced technology of corporate influence, from shrinking forms of medical tech to quieter suppressors and magnetic subway lines, the city is full of gadgets to use and weaknesses to exploit.
NNCG "Eclipse" Suit
Developed by NOVASKIN™ - This Nitro-capsule Gilded Undersuit was initially built for the war efforts overseas. The suit provided the wearer with solid kevlar-superior protection for quick engagements, featuring lightweight armor panels attached to a thin form-fitting undersuit. Powered by N-caps, this low-energy-consumption equipment is one of several premier front-line suit designs in existence today, always outperforming its competition by a country mile. The secret is in the underlying layer of specially developed Non-Newtonian Colloid that temporarily provides the wearer with reactive armor. Hardly anything can pierce this extremely effective protection whilst it's active. This suit will also give you access to a number of gadgets to help you along your journey: from a distraction tool, to a Flash Pulse for blinding enemies. And, of course, Night Vision.

There are multiple issues that prevent me from recommending this: A) Unless you plan on playing for at least 30 minutes at a time, the splash screens are unbearable B) There is a bug where right mouse and left mouse inputs just don't register so aiming and shooting occasionally do not work. In addition to that, headshots are wildly inconsistent. I somehow land more headshots than I have kills, meaning that sometimes, it takes several bullets to put down an enemy using a headshot with very little, if any visual feedback that you hit them. C) You are meant to be fighting a coordinated force yet CoD Games from the early 2010s have better coordination AND stealth mechanics. D) AI is twitchy and deadly accurate. I once had a dude do a 90-degree one-tap on me from several yards away. While others manage to one-tap me the second I walk into their view. This is on the regular difficulty. (the one in the middle in the difficulty select screen) Personally, I just do not vibe with the stealth mechanics. I completed level 1 and level 2, and they introduced drones on level 3 and I just don't imagine myself continuing to play the game after that. Which is unfortunate because the gunplay is actu…1 found this helpful
I cannot recommend this game at any price currently due to how incredibly buggy it is. In my 85 minutes playtime I experienced about 11 gameplay impacting bugs. This is somehow worse than Bethesda's usual bug fiestas1 found this helpful
truly one of the worst games i have ever played if you ignore the horrible graphics even on ultra the extreme stuttering and crappy story you are left whit a garbage arma three mod at its best and at its worst a mobile game with added features usualy these low budget crap shooters have a option to turn on godmode with infinate aMMO TO MESS AROUND WITH THE AI AND HAVE SOME KIND OF FUN NOPE THESE Clueless devs couldnt even allow that instead of even having basic features like godmode and inf ammo they give you useless sleep daRTS AND A GADGET WHEEL YOU WILL NEVER EVER REMEMBER TO USE this game is truly a disgusting mess only made to scam money from a few people that buy it i mean with how long the small playerbase has been asking for godmode and inf ammo youd imagne they have all but stopped careing about the playerbase disgusting cheap game disgusting devs truly makes me pissed to no end you people still have jobs if you cant even listen to the very very few fans you have left
A very hard game its either extreme stealth or dead.
upon looking at other review people have said alot about bugs but during my playthrough i got ZERO bugs 2026 july. Its a pretty solid single player experence the gunplay feels good story is easy to follow it ran suprising well on my old rtx 1080 pc. its got crysis weapon style customisation, for attachments you have to find then throughout each level makes looking for sercts rewarding another thing the game doesnt tell you what some buttons do so best look at the controls before you start things like disable hud, weapon inspect and night vision
I got this on a 50% off sale and absolutely had a blast with it. Movement felt smooth, guns felt solid/fun and the customisation was entirely perfect for the game design. Didn't encounter any game-breaking bugs, didn't ever feel like the enemy AI was unfair or useless. Strapped myself in and played through with only three encounters needing a couple of takes to pass on normal difficulty and I'd say that speaks more to my lack of skill at FPS than anything with the game. Before I bought it, I saw quite a few reviews bagging out the cut scenes and voice over during the game but honestly once it booted it up I fell in love with it. It's that absolute Sin City level of noire satire and I can really get behind it. Especially the overwrought metaphors (oh god the river) that have every single last application mined out and then somehow they find more veins of glittering meanings and re-uses of them.
