Features:
• 6 minutes of Stealth ! Crossword ! Action !
• TWO endings (if you finish it, i recommend getting caught)
• 100% not procedural and un-replayable!

This is a remake of a game i made 6 years ago obviously i felt could be done more rambly and stupider.

i've got the heaven ending and I don't want it any other way, that was incredibly stupid
i love the game!
this is the game ever
this. this game is the game we all need. none of those mobile games with the fancy ads. We need more of these.
Yeah this is class
OMFG this is G O L D
I loved it! Great comedic conceit, and very juicy presentation!
With that said, I've encountered a bug near the end of the last level, the radio prompt doesn't appear, and the doors don't open. Also, the collision on the walls doesn't work for some reason.
what
lmao
I enjoyed this
1 thing that is really bad about this game is, it is fricking short
great game
This is such a fun game - I will defiantly check it out again in the future!
Adorable glad you enjoyed trickiey!
Omg this is such a cool concept. I really liked all the gimmicks like the getting out of prison and impersonating pilot. Great game
definitely took me more than 6 minutes, i failed like three or four times, but this was great
That level of storytelling, perfect, such a masterpiece. It is definitely my favorite crossword game.
This was amazing. Hooked from the beginning to the end.
thanks
Way better than metal gear solid like at all
This is so cool!!!
Thats incredible... But stop lying, there's much more than 2 endings
OMGGGGGGG THIS GAME IS COOL
This game was featured in PCGamer magazine!
whoa thanks for telling me Radskull!
Np!
The game won't load in chrome browser, on chromebook.
Nvm it loaded on my other account
Very funny and quite entertaining
This is amazing!
best game ever
This is very creative to say the least. Sadly, it was too easy to cheat, I found right around the airplane, because the tip for the word about the cat drinking or whatever you wrote for "around the stadium", I just couldn't figure out that word so I started spamming the keys until I found the answer. Would never guessed that three letter word if I didn't LOL. If you added a penalty for that, I would've lost.
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.
