⚙️ Technical Performance
Platform
PlayStation 5
Framerate
Disappointingly the base PS5 performance leaves a little to be desired. There are noticeable framerate drops and performance isn't as you'd hope. it's a little jarring considering the levels are broken down rather than an open world game.
Playtime
Taking around 6 hours for a straight playthrough or 15 hours for a completeness playthrough there is a decent amount of content here for the price.
✦ Pros
  • Simple Stealth
  • Pretty
  • Interesting Story
✧ Cons
  • Frame rate issues
  • Over powered protagonist
  • Ai is rather simple

🧠 The Premise

You are the last Ereban. A race lost to the history books but a key to the future. You are being hunted whilst trying to unlock the mystery around why your race has disappeared and what key the hold to future civilisation.

📖 Story

As the last remaining Ereban, Ayana you are recruited to go on a mission to save the universe. You must use your powers and tech to navigate vast open worlds and tight lineal levels to uncover the truth.

The world is diverse, with side quests and two waring factions to uncover the truth of the forgotten Ereban race and how they hold the key to the survival of the world around them.

🎮 Gameplay

Use the shadows to navigate the map and play your way. Many levels are vast and sprawling with multiple routes to get the endpoint. Killing isn't the name of the game but you get ranked for each level you complete and they certainly suggest

🔁 The Loop

It plays quite nicely from point a to point b for most levels like an old school platformer. It's actually quite refreshing to see this in 2026 especially with it giving you a level score at the end of each stage.

🎯 Gameplay Strengths

The stealth is simple, there are plenty of gadgets to use that make a difference and help you through the stages. Puzzles are varied and challenging but not overtly difficult.

🎨 Art & Visuals

The art style is almost cel-shaded in style with a comic book look. On the whole it's quite visually pleasing but it means the levels are unfortunately rather large and empty feeling at certain points. That doesn't mean there isn't plenty to see and do with plenty of hidden items and collectibles around the map.

🏆 Final Verdict

If you want a cheap stealth game with a decent story then this is worth checking out. It's not ground breaking but it is fun. The puzzles are challenging but not overly difficult to work out the controls could have been a little more intuitive too.
