The game does exactly what the concept implies it should, it respect the theme perfectly, controls are tight and there a nice tactical\/puzzle layer ontop.\r\rAll in all, good stuff. One of my favorite entries so far! kudos! \r\r++\r\r(note: THANK YOU for adding mute keys for sound\/music.

This is the first stealth game I've played this LD, and it's really fun. The only gripe I have is that I wish you wouldn't die when you bump into enemies. It makes sense when they are alerted, but when you look like one of the monsters and bump into an unsuspecting enemy it's a bit frustrating. :("},{"author_name":"Saladon","author_uid":"33105","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 10:35am","epoch":1460975400,"text":"Very cool concept.
