Set two months before Intravenous 2, this prologue follows Gideon, a mercenary taking jobs for money. The missions’ consequences connect to the main game’s story.
Approach each mission through stealth or direct combat. Use shadows, switch off lights, pick doors, and plan around enemy patrols—or engage enemies with firearms and gadgets.
Develop Gideon’s skills, modify firearms with attachments, and choose from different weapons and ammunition. Stimulants let him briefly bend time, while enemies can react to your actions, take cover, and call for backup.
Players often appreciate the freedom to complete missions through stealth or open combat, with tense stealth and weapon customization standing out in particular. Some also enjoy the pixel-art presentation and alert enemies. Criticisms in the sample include demanding difficulty, short length, and complaints about controls or interface clarity.
