Click for notes
Features:
• 6 minutes of Stealth ! Crossword ! Action !
• TWO endings (if you finish it, i recommend getting caught)
• 100% not procedural and un-replayable!
• Disclaimer: I mean no disrespect to europeans. Some of my closest friends/self are europeans 🙏
This is a remake of a game i made 6 years ago obviously i felt could be done more rambly and stupider.

absolute CINEMA
absolute peak
This was so clever and perfectly captured MGS' theme and feel.
Really funny and absurd.
Fantastic. Do they give out BAFTAs or something for short games? This should get one.
What a brilliant small game, I hope we get a #2 with crosswords change each time you play. I loved it though, great work.
I needed a laugh, and this delivered!
There's barely a moment when I'm not giggling through the absurdity of this game! From the G men you have to sneak around, to obtaining the Z's for 11 across XDThe secret ending where **SPOILERS** you fall to your death on the golden puzzle is so hilarious, yet so touching, and part of me wishes there was more to it!
Can't wait to check out more of your work! Thanks for making this one so much fun!
haha aw this was a very sweet playthrough thanks for sharing sawyer ✨
That was so much fun! I didn't read the notes before playing, so imagine my surprise when I got caught. I love a short and sweet and clever game, so thank you!
I have never played anything like this! Amazing concept. So rewarding and fun!
fun
This is amazing! As a crossword and stealth game fan, you nailed it by combining the two! Kudos!
My favourite ending is THE FND. I coronated a fox.
how do you get out of jail?
Hint: as the game states, you're too wide to go past the bars. How would you work around this?
Solution below:
The letter "i" is slim enough to pass the bars, just press "i" when in jail and you can walk right between them.
"TWO Endings"
just fyi, there are at least* SIX endings + a secret cutscene
(*might be even more)
SPOILERS Below
Secret Cutscene (Fail the Golden Puzzle and plummet to your death)
King Ending A (Finish the Game)
King Ending B.1 (Go Right on the End)
King Ending B.2 (Free all Foxes and go Right)
Sacrifice Ending (Get Caught and diffuse Missiles)
Ouija Ending A (Don't diffuse Missiles, say "YES" or "NO + NO")
Ouija Ending B (Don't diffuse Missiles, say "NO + YES")
Edit to add: After you diffuse the missiles, you cannot fail. When the €uropean reaches you, he just goes past you and leaves the screen. Doing the orbital, he's just at the end of the hallway again.
O__S__N__NG
Exceptionally good; not yet paid (11)
omg that was so silly and cool also do the foxes do anything or they just there ;-;
#SPOILERS#
they help If you go right at the king ending 👌
That is fucking awesome
It won't start for me. ;-;
Press the missing letter and it will spawn
No, it's just completely black after the game loads.
Really Cool Idea and great humor! Would Recommend!

Trying the webbuild and I get these error messages in both Firefox and Chrome: The referenced script on this Behaviour (Game Object ‘Text (TMP)’) is missing! No GameObject found with the name ‘HEAVEN MUSIC’! NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. in BUILDWEB16.framework.js.gz:3:34928
very curious, can i ask what browser you’re using?
Firefox 138.0.1 (64-bit) and Chrome Version 136.0.7103.113 (64-bit)
Same error for me I’m on Linux tested on Firefox and Chromium.
fwiw no issues for me on linux [mint] chromium 137
I hate crossword.
I love crossword in this game!
I got every ending
