A Turn-Based First-Person Puzzle
NEOSTALKER combines a first-person perspective with the turn-based logic of a spatial puzzle. What matters here is not reaction speed, but precision: where to move, what to activate, which path to open, and in what order to act.
After each of your turns, the environment takes its own: mechanisms move, robots react, dangerous zones block routes, and a mistake in the order of actions can cost you your life.
The Grappling Hook as a Tool for Thinking
The grappling hook is your main way to move and interact with the environment. Latch onto anchor points, change position, activate levers, valves, and mechanisms, and search for a safe sequence of actions.
It is a tool for precise planning: every grapple, angle, and transition matters.
Descent into an Autonomous Factory
In the future, humanity entrusted production to gigantic self-running factories. They were meant to preserve everyday life, evolve, and create everything people needed. But over time, something changed: the factories closed themselves off from people, the air around them became impossible to breathe, and machines threatening everything around them began to emerge from within.
You are a NeoStalker, sent where no one else can enter. Cross the factory's dangerous sections, reach its core, and shut it down safely to open the way for engineers and give them a chance to save the situation.
