Intravenous

Intravenous is a top-down shooter with an emphasis on stealth. The story begins with the hero entering a closed warehouse to deal with his brother’s offenders. Light and sound here are more important than the number of cartridges: steps can be heard in the dark, and the noise attracts security. If you fail to pass quietly, a short, tough shootout begins, where one hit costs your life. In addition to weapons, there are distractions, locks and lights out, as well as small challenges in the levels. The levels are connected by a common story, and along the way you can see where revenge leads the hero. Levels can be completed in several ways, and some of them are related to the found keys and records. A mistake in the dark costs more than an extra minute of reconnaissance. Levels are traversed in several ways, and some of the passages are opened by found keys. Reconnaissance costs time, but it saves you from unnecessary fights. Weapons and ammo are limited, so shooting is always forced. Some scenes are presented in short inserts between tasks. In addition to weapons, there are traps and distractions that help you pass without making noise. Opponents react to light and the sound of footsteps, so darkness becomes an ally. Some tasks require removing objects or removing security. Inserts between levels reveal the hero's motives. Short tasks provide an opportunity to practice and test a new approach. The levels are interconnected, so findings affect the following tasks. It makes more sense to first look around, and only then decide how to act. Anyone who likes leisurely stealth tasks with harsh rules will find the game suitable.
