About the Game

Lizard State is a single player stealth action game with a short and focused campaign that focuses on deep gameplay systems and rich player expression, allowing you to sneak through guards undetected or to blast your way through if things go sideways.

It takes place over the course of a night. Your mission is to retrieve a hostage held up on an island that has been taken over by a renegade group. Make your way through enemy lines and uncover what lies beneath the rebellion in this retro sci-fi universe.

FEATURES:

  • A short, focused stealth campaign.

  • Visuals inspired by classic PS2-era games.

  • Levels that open up with interconnected paths, different routes and shortcuts.

  • Advanced light/shadow system: Stay in the dark to avoid being seen.

  • Advanced hearing system: Watch out for the noise you make. Your footsteps make more or less sound depending on the surface you walk on. Doors and walls muffle sounds.

  • Reactive AI: Enemies will react to lights being shot, turned off, or wake their knocked out friends.

  • A hacking system allowing you to open doors, override systems and take control of unique machines.

  • Multiple difficulties and unique optional objectives to explore different styles of play.
