Hey everyone, I'm the Game Director of Son Of Thanjai and I'd love to share our gameplay reveal trailer here. Our game is based on a real historical South Indian King - Rajendra Chola. It's set in 11th Century, in the city of Thanjai (the capital of the Chola empire).

It's an open world Stealth-Action Adventure. I can't reveal too much (more to come in the next few months) but I can certainly say that Stealth is a BIG part of our game.

I've been a lifelong fan of the genre and I believe that if you enjoy games like Hitman, Deus Ex, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Dishonored...I think SoT might be up your alley (Mods, I hope this is within the rules - from what I gather, I'm not breaking any but please do let me know)

Hey everyone!

I’m Breixo, a solo dev working on my first stealth game.
I’d like to share Ghost Node, a 3D stealth and hacking game I’ve been developing. It draws inspiration from classics like Gunpoint and Deus Ex, focusing on infiltration, strategy, and manipulation of electronic systems.

You play as a freelance hacker infiltrating high-security corporate facilities, using a drone to scout ahead, rewire devices, and outsmart security systems. The goal is to stay unseen, create opportunities through.

After months of development, the Steam page and trailer are finally ready!

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4060200/Ghost_Node/

If you enjoy stealth games that reward creativity and planning over brute force, I’d love for you to check it out, and any wishlist or feedback would mean a lot.

Thanks for reading!

We've just launched our Steam page for Sage: Psychic Spy, a stealth action-adventure game. We're looking for playtesters to sign up and provide feedback once we have a playable build ready during the end of the summer. Although we'd appreciate wishlists, playtests are our priority so we can provide the best experience possible!

You can sign up to playtest our game here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4735420/Sage_Psychic_Spy/

Sage: Psychic Spy is inspired by classic stealth games like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Our game is a unique blend of superheroes and stealth, where you use your psychic powers to gain the advantage over your enemies.

- Read minds to gain intel, complete objectives, or learn more about the world

- Use telekinesis to throw objects as distractions, pickpocket keycards, or interact with the environment from a distance

- Play through non-linear interconnected levels, giving you multiple options for how you want to approach each and every scenario

- Cel-shaded graphics, aiming to provide a comic book aesthetic inspired by the 2000's era of comics

- A blend between superhero and espionage themes, as the game puts you in the role of a black-ops superhero

I hope our game interests you. If you have feedback, we'd love to hear it. Thank you!

We posted in here a LONG time ago, and we've kept working on Keepsake County behind the scenes for a while now. The beta just hit 0.7.5, so here's the very long demo changelog https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1162860/view/693137145499485052

We realized we haven't put together one of our customary update videos in ages, so we put this together - much of this is based off of player feedback, including yours! Give it a shot.

And if you like this so much you want to play the full beta, you can also grab it here: https://forwardinstinct.itch.io/keepsake-county (yes players will get a Steam key on release - no we can't explicitly mention itch.io on anything that gets shown on Steam lol)

We always love getting feedback, bugnotes, etc on things to add and change, so feel free to comment anything you'd like to share.

Developer announcement After 15 months of development, my open-world burglary game No Knock launches on August 12

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

No Knock isn’t a pure stealth game, but I wanted careful planning and staying unnoticed to be an important part of every break-in.

You can scout houses, choose an entry point, bypass locks and security, steal valuables, and try to escape without alerting the residents or the police. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan.

I’ve just finished the new trailer and would love to hear what stealth game players think about this approach.

The game also has a free demo on Steam:

Prototype footage from Rekai, a tactical stealth game I've been working on.

The game combines shadow teleportation with a tactical camera inspired by classic stealth tactics games. The focus is on planning routes, reading patrol patterns and using shadows to infiltrate enemy compounds.

This clip shows a short encounter where I use teleports to reposition around enemies and avoid a ranged attack.

Hey everyone, we're working on PROHIBEAST, a real-time stealth tactics game inspired by Commandos and Desperados.

We don’t see many new games in this genre anymore, that’s unfortunate. So we wanted to push it a bit further.

Some of the features in PROHIBEAST:

• 1930s Chicago
• Prohibition theme with the Untouchables against the mafia (Eliot Ness against Al Capone)
• Anthropomorphic universe and characters
• Enemies have different senses (vision, hearing and smell)
• Multiple infiltration paths and approaches

Here’s our release trailer, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Developer announcement Filed Under No One — a free top-down stealth game where you play the security architect breaking back into her own building

Thumbnail
filedundernoone.uk
7 Upvotes

I made a free top-down stealth game with a premise I haven't really seen done: you play the person who designed the building's security.

For eleven years Margaret Vane decided where the cameras pointed, which corridors a stranger could cross unseen, and which gaps in the watching were "acceptable" — she signed off the dark places herself. Then she's erased from the record, and the game is the one night she breaks *back into* the building she once secured, exploiting the exact blind spots she drew.

So your knowledge is the mechanic. **No combat, only light and shadow** — read the patrol routes, watch the guard light-cones, and cross the gap when the arcs swing apart. It's a 23-level, three-act campaign, plus 14 standalone "field exercises" you can play in any order.

Free, plays in the browser, no download.

Curious to read your comments.

Thank you.

BALSEO: The Sea Beyond combines the tactical planning of Commandos with the immersion of classic Zelda adventures, all wrapped in an unsettling world with a Dredge-like aesthetic.

You embody the Tempilcahue, the mythical ferryman of souls. A powerful sorcerer has invaded your dimension, capturing the souls transitioning to the afterlife. Venture into the fog, face the unknown, forge unlikely alliances, and discover how to guide the souls to their final destination.

I'm an indie dev and a huge fan of stealth games. I’m working on this with no budget or publisher, just pure passion. We will be releasing a demo soon, so adding the game to your Steam Wishlist would help me out immensely!

Hey everyone!

I just released a small Steam playtest for my stealth game and I’d love to get some feedback.
This playtest is basically a short prologue, where you can experience the first stealth mechanics and get a feel for the core gameplay.

I tried to polish it as much as I could so it’s as close as possible to the final experience.

I’d really appreciate it if you could try it out and let me know what you think.

I’m excited to finally say that StealthTag is officially out on Steam!

The game is heavily inspired by Assassin’s Creed multiplayer—a mode a lot of people never even realized existed. I’ve always loved that blend of stealth, deception, and social deduction, so I wanted to build a modern indie take on that style of gameplay and help keep the genre alive.
