Ready, set, go! We got your feedback, and we have improved the game. Here's what got fixed:

• We got reports that some users' log files were being clogged. We believe we have now solved the issue but, if it persists, let us know.
• Fixed a problem that caused the creation of thousands of orphan nodes which impacted performance. Now the orphans are dead.
• Fixing the previous two bugs also increased the stability.
• There was a bug where Adam could walk to the outside the realms of the game, straight into the limbo of nothingness. This has been now fixed.
• All cutscenes now reset properly. If the player is captured and sent back in the level before the cutscene was triggered, it will not cause problems.
• Solved a problem where, If Turbo got caught by two drones at the same time, the threat level would be red perpetually. Now that should not happen anymore (unless you want it to happen, then we can make it a feature)

PLEASE NOTE: the game is still in development.

System Under Surveillance (SUS) is an upcoming stealth indie game with adventure and puzzle elements similar to known classics from the 80s and 90s. The game's visuals are also inspired by classic retro games, but in an isometric perspective.

PREPARE YOUR PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITEIS

In SUS, there is no combat system: you will have to use your own problem solving abilities, and the two unique playable characters, to overcome challenges. You control:


TURBO, an old and quirky robot, who can:

• hover above holes and reach new areas;
  
• transform into a metallic ball, and travel through tight spaces and pipes;
  
• escape enemies at high speed;

Adam, an ordinary yet highly intelligent and resourceful boy, who can:

• take control of enemies, open doors, disable security systems;
  
• use ordinary items to distract enemies;
  
• gain power ups and use gadgets to solve minigames and puzzles;
  
  
• and more...

NO ORDINARY HEALTH SYSTEM

System Under Surveillance replaces the ordinary health system with a threat level. Stay undetected to keep the threat level low, or get detected to make enemies follow you and trick them. The threat level will decrease if you hide and escape. But don't get caught!

STORY

After a suspicious car chase involving his adoptive mother, Adam finds himself alone in the middle of a dystopian city. He soon finds out that a mysterious governmental organization is after him, without knowing why.


While struggling to escape and survive, he finds a quirky cleaning robot labeled TURBO. Despite the name, TURBO is pretty clumsy and slow. Yet, with its big digital heart, the clumsy robot will accompany Adam in his journey, helping him discover the dark truth surrounding the accident.

COMIC-STYLE STORYTELLING
