An incredible and very gratifying experience with stealth, exploration and puzzles. The art style is simplistic, but uses the contrast of colors and designs excellently, it's very appealing. The stealth based gameplay, the interaction of things to distract or disarm, works very well, nothing too complicated but it does make you think and plan ahead. The exploration is also entertaining, being able to upgrade the tool or find collectibles are very good rewards. Everything is well polished, I didn't find any serious bugs, and also the progress is incredible, short but with different options and replayability. Some things I could highlight that I disliked, would be that the detection of enemies sometimes feels bad, like they see you from too far away, or directly ignore you, very random. Ah, and the bosses, meh, frustrating because of the gimmick you have to follow to defeat them, or boring because it takes a lot of hits, they are not bad (different and interesting designs and mechanics...

About This Game
The cat burglar known as "La Sombra" sneaks into a party that takes place in the offices of the mega company "Luxe Tec" to steal the famous "Emerald Tiara", exhibited in the same building. Everything seems to be going well until the building is attacked by a group of terrorists who threaten to explode a powerful bomb if their demands are not granted.
Now, in a building surrounded by armed terrorists, "La Sombra" must make a decision to continue her mission in this heavily guarded building or face the terrorists and save the day.
For this difficult task "La Sombra" will have the help of a new technology that is being developed in the offices of "Luxe Tec", an experimental portable device called "CodeBreaker", a device capable through radio waves to remotely hack different electronic devices.
-Experience a fusion of retro stealth gameplay and lite metroidvania mechanics.
-Visuals inspired by the artistic flair of Saul Bass's movie posters and title sequences
-Soundtrack reminiscent of the 70s and 80s spy and heist movies.
-Retrieve the tiara?, Save hostages?, Escape?, your choice!

An excellent little top-down stealth experience that'll last a few hours depending how much you want to complete. The art style isn't the most compelling or polished thing ever, but the mechanics and puzzle design are top notch. We just don't see many stealth games like this anymore, at any level of budget, so this was really refreshing to see. Definitely check this out if you like MGS1, Volume, or other similar games. Especially for a few bucks, this is one of the best pure stealth experiences in modern times.
was a solid game puzzles were decently challenging, and the fact there are multiple endings makes it a great value.
I rather liked this game. First playthrough took me about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The small puzzles had me for a bit but after a while i understood it. second playthrough took me 1 hour and 30 mins and i love that not every playthrough has the same answers. I would definitely play again. I love the small easter eggs. It took me back to the good ole stealth games like splinter cell and metal gear solid. I feel like this game is worth more than what I paid for sure! I high recommend this game if you love stealth.
The game is called La Sombra. It doesn't have any shadows.
