It's a $20 indie game that just came out on consoles, and so far I'm having a good time with it. Mechanically, it borrows from Mark of the Ninja, and Desperados III if you're familiar with those (even having the same sort of setting as the latter), but the level design and the way there are multiple paths through most areas is really satisfying. And the art is great.

On the downside, the Switch version has some noticeable performance issues that I'm assuming aren't present elsewhere. And the loading times between areas can be a bit longer than I'd like.

Looks cool. Indies have been on a roll lately. So it's all non-lethal?

Yeah, so far I don't have anything that can even like, knock out an enemy, just distractions.

Does the stealth feel fair and well communicated? I loved that in Desperados.

It does the vision cone thing like Desperados, but unlike that game there's no way to have the cones be visible while moving, which is a little annoying.

This seems like it's pretty short; I'm ~5 hours in and feel like I'm getting near the end. But it's gotten better as its gone along, there are some really clever levels here. Where Desperados is all about using the abilities you have to take out enemies along the way, this is much more about using the environment; each level has some new mechanic to help you avoid being spotted.

Nah art style looks horrible. Don't know why anyone would want to play as a little boy also.

Could you explain this a bit more?
