No Trace

About

No Trace is a top-down stealth action game where you navigate detailed environments to complete objectives through stealth, gunfire, or a mix of both. You play as a skilled operative using vertical positioning to line up headshots or disable security systems. Fog of war hides enemy patrols and obstacles, forcing you to peek through vents or doors for intel. Each level lets you approach missions creatively, sneak past guards undetected or trigger chaotic gunfights. The game pauses for inspection mode, letting you map out weak points and study enemy behaviors before moving. What stands out is the precision shooting mechanics that use depth to target enemies and objects at varying heights. The fog of war system adds tension, requiring careful scouting to avoid detection. Developer Square Mountain leans into tactical flexibility without leaning on genre clichés. Released in 2018, it maintains a small but dedicated player base for its tight design and varied approach to stealth gameplay.
