## About This Game
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 top-down retro games, but in
an isometric perspective. In SUS, you will also explore the story trough an
interactive pixel art comic book!
## STORY SUMMARY:
After a suspicious car chase involving his adoptive mother, Adam finds himself
alone in the middle of a dystopian city. He soon discovers that a mysterious
governmental organization is after him, without knowing why.
While struggling to escape and survive, Adam 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:
Savor the story through a carefully curated pixel art comic book. Explore the
game, find secrets, and uncover the missing pages to reveal who caused the
accident and why deadly robots are after you.
## PREPARE YOUR PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES:
In SUS you play as Adam and Turbo. You have no power over the enemies, making
you completely vulnerable in this environment. Without a combat system, your
only chance of surviving is through the stealth mechanics. Be aware of your
surroundings, and use the game world and unique abilities of the two
characters to evade; trick the enemies, sneak past them, and hide from them.
You will go through each level with the goal of finding the truth behind the
secret organization chasing you.
## SWITCH ANYTIME BETWEEN TWO UNIQUE CHARACTERS:
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 to trick enemies
* create a powerful electric current by spinning in place, temporarily disabling nearby terminals
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. This system will immerse you in the story, making you feel just like an
ordinary boy who can succeed only outsmarting the enemies. Stay undetected to
keep the threat level low, or get detected to make enemies follow you, and
trick them to reach restricted areas. The threat level will decrease if you
hide and escape. But don’t get caught!
