Project Stealth - Tactical Ninja Action

Project Stealth is a stealth-action game inspired by the great ninja stealth classics, focused on player choice, systemic consequences, and the slow construction of a reputation.

Vision & Scope

Beyond core stealth gameplay, Project Stealth is designed around long-term consequences.

The ninja will be able to choose their next mission, serving one of three major daimyos competing for influence in the region of Utake (a fictional setting).
Every mission outcome affects reputation: with the lord who hired you, with rival factions, or with the region as a whole.

Your legend is not shaped only by success or failure, but by how you operate:

• Leaving witnesses alive will have consequences

• Sparing guards, killing them, or silently neutralizing them all changes how the world reacts

• Villagers may remain silent if they respect you enough… or if they fear you

Small decisions made during missions gradually define your name, your standing, and ultimately your fate in Utake.

Gameplay Systems (Planned Experience)

The final experience is built around:

• Stealth-focused gameplay inspired by classic ninja stealth titles

• A mission selection layer with branching consequences

• Reputation systems tied to actions, witnesses, and mission outcomes

• Multiple endings shaped by cumulative player decisions

Customization & Progression

On a practical level, the game features deep player customization:

• A complete arsenal of offensive, defensive and utility items

• Items of varying quality tiers

• A skill system improving stealth, combat efficiency, and survivability

• Full ninja customization (gender, weapons, appearance)

• Multiple loadout presets that can be saved and reused

• Additional playable characters as optional extras

Current State – Legacy Build

This Early Access page currently hosts a legacy build, uploaded as a reference point before a major rework phase.

The legacy version already includes:

• A fully playable first mission

• Multiple game modes using the same level

• A mission customization system

• Dynamic weather affecting stealth and enemy perception

• Fully functional shop, skills, items, and high-score systems

However, the project is currently undergoing a significant redesign:

• Performance and technical structure

• Character models and animations

• Player movement and overall game feel

• AI systems and balance

The legacy build is provided to show where the project comes from, not as a representation of the final direction.

Future updates to this page will host the modernized versions of Project Stealth as development progresses.
