A delightful stealth game that spearheaded some major design-shifts in the genre so subtly that most people don't even seem to know who copied it, or that it exists. Further: The first stealth game I had fun with in my life! I loved the intricate little gears that turn inside both the moment-to-moment mechanical interaction with the playspace and the satirical plot and its characters.

My one gripe with it was the light amount of jank that rears its head every so often- I recall sometimes thinking I had saved my game only to find that something malfunctioned, making me lose progress. Of all the things to fuck up, you don't want it to be your save system!

All the same, this gets a big recommendation from me. It's got charm, and character, and a big exciting toolkit to use on its world, and it's highly affordable these days to boot.
