The game is primarily a stealth experience that emphasizes evasion over combat, though players can choose their approach.
Embrace the shadows: Stealth is the key mechanic, requiring players to use shadows and hidden paths to avoid detection by guards and other enemies.
Movement abilities: Garrett has a "Swoop" ability for quick, silent dashes between areas of cover and a grappling claw for reaching higher ledges.
Weapons and tools: Garrett's arsenal includes a blackjack for knocking out guards and a collapsible bow that can be used with various arrow types, such as water arrows to extinguish lights.
"Focus" mode: Players can use a special "Focus" ability to enhance Garrett's senses, highlighting interactive objects and revealing enemy weak spots.
