Version 0.11.1366 - New Stealth System

Vinculike (18+) - Prototype
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android

Mostly finished reworking the stealth mechanics. Now the noise the Player character generates depends on kind of clothes equipped (e.g. Dress, skirt, rags are extremely noisy, while leather top/bottom are very stealthy) and on current action (standing still is rather silent, fighting or struggling against restraints - very noisy). The current amount of noise is displayed in the new UI at the top of the screen. Clicking this button also visualizes the detection range on the map.

Monsters actions are now also a bit more natural. At long range the monsters will get suspicious and go to the source of the noise to investigate. And only if they get close enough they’ll proceed to chase and attack the heroine.

  • New stealth mechanics! - now different items and actions have significantly different noise levels.
  • Visualize current noise levels and detection range for player character.
  • Visualization of enemy AI state - idle, cautious, attacking
  • Tutorial on new stealth mechanics
  • Stealth attack on short click too, it was very hard to perform on touch devices
  • Alarm trap - notifies monsters of the current position
  • Update tutorial on traps
  • Spawner trap’s monsters now chase player for longer time
  • Nerf spawner trap a bit
  • Make particles size aware of UI scale (they were too small on high-DPI devices)
  • Increase glass bottle damage
