7 itemsAbout the Game
SeverLink is a third-person stealth-action game. Designed as a love letter to classic infiltration titles, it offers diverse levels, dynamic AI, player freedom, and thematic depth.
STEALTH: get in a range of highly secured facilities unnoticed, get what you need, get lost
ACTION: when things go sideways - engage at your discretion
INTERACTION: use your environment to your advantage
INVESTIGATION: collect intel, analyze clues, and uncover hidden connections
Set in 201X, after a world-altering Y2K bug stalled technological progress, the game embraces a retro-futuristic aesthetic shaped by early-2000s hardware and culture.
Our protagonist—The Infiltrator— takes on a series of missions, each set in a unique, hand-crafted location with its own challenges and secrets: save a whistleblower on a train, slip onto a millionaire’s yacht, or break into an Alpine bunker.
Behind him stands KVASIR Group —a team of researchers, hackers, and activists fighting against corporate oppression by any means necessary. Think “labor union with a ninja squad”.
In detail:
Classic, deliberate stealth with visibility & noise detection (“stealth in the shadows” without the “I can’t see a damn thing” problem).
Smart enemies that react to your actions—like noticing an open door—and different enemy types respond in their own ways.
Multi-path levels with hidden routes, verticality, and flexible solutions.
Interactive world: use the environment to your advantage - distract with props, hack into PCs, uncover secrets.
Non-lethal and lethal toolkit: stun gun, firearms, melee, throwables (including rubber pigs)
Slow, methodical infiltration or fast, chaotic escapes—player sets the pace
