Is it still worth playing?

Lionel Gallat's action role playing stealth game, a story focused adventure set in a medieval dark fantasy world of mice. It was funded by an Indiegogo campaign in 2013, released in full in 2018 for PC, with Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch versions later. You carry no weapons, so the only reliable way to evade the guards is to take cover in one of the many hiding spots across the map, and you can save only while inside one. Costumes are another part of the game: collecting every piece of a set lets you trick the other mice into thinking you are someone else. That makes it easier to move through the prison and to finish quests that are otherwise out of reach. Today, because hiding is both your defense and where you save, each stretch of the map is a plan from one hiding spot to the next.
