The verdict
A stylish 70s top-down stealth-cleaning game with great music and art, but short, repetitive and unforgiving, with no checkpoints. Skip it if you want controller play or deep stealth.
Great for
Fans of short, stylish arcade stealth with retry-heavy puzzle-like levels, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Clunky or broken controls, bugged achievements, and restarting whole levels after one mistake
