The tactical stealth really works well. The one thing that would be nice is a visual indicator of the monsters's range of vision.

- It was very enjoyable. It exactly the features needed to make stealth tactically meaningful.
- "the strigoi" is a rather unusual game. It has unique mechanics, nice bits of thematic narrative, and a flair of a combinatorial puzzle. This puzzle-ness is a double-edged sword: it limits the scope to make for an interesting gameplay, but it's also clear to the player that there is nothing hiding behind what's right in front of their eyes. I think the game achieves what it set out to do. My only complaint is that a lot of levels seem to be impossible to solve. I'm not smart enough to claim that it's definitely so, but if true, it's not a great game experience: there is nothing a player can do to avoid defeat.
