THE GAME_
System Under Surveillance (SUS) is a charming stealth puzzle adventure, where you have to avoid and trick enemies rather than fight them. Take control of Adam and his little robot, TURBO. Use their unique abilities to navigate a maze-like dystopian city.
Do you have what it takes to escape?
STORY_
Adam is a young boy, who only remembers running away from the burning car his mother had just crashed into the side of a building. He now finds himself alone in the middle of a dystopian city without any trace of his mother, or anyone else for that matter.
Being chased by mystiques robots, Adam runs deeper into the labyrinthian city trying to escape. This is where he meets the eccentric cleaning robot called TURBO. Despite its name, TURBO is clumsy and slow, but has a big digital heart. Adam and TURBO team up to escape the robots and uncover the truth surrounding the accident and the desolate city.

WELCOME TO THE CITY_
The streets of the city of New Eden are narrow and maze-like. The government has imposed a very strict curfew on the citizens, and tightly controls the flow of information. For these reasons, automatic drones are mobilized to patrol the street to arrest anyone who defies the curfew. The streets are also littered with AI controlled surveillance cameras.
Being a young boy, Adam’s chances of freedom are narrow. He cannot possibly fight back through sheer force, but together with TURBO, he just might have what it takes to sneak around and trick the enemies to his own advantage. As he explores the city in his quest to find more details about the accident, he must also collect encryption keys, called Data Cubes, allowing him to decrypt the information the local government does not want anyone to see. It turns out, that the quest might lead to a much darker path than first anticipated.

TURBO
TURBO is a rickety old cleaning robot, but it has some very handy skills, such as
- hovering above holes to propel itself to new areas,
- transforming into a metallic ball and roll up pipes and down narrow alleys, and
- generating a powerful electric shock by spinning in place, temporarily disabling nearby electronics.
ADAM
Adam is a regular boy who is also uncommonly resourceful. He is able to
- remotely take control of enemies, open doors and disable security systems;
- create diversions with everyday objects;
- make use of clever gadgets to solve the puzzles in minigames.
SAY HI TO YOUR ENEMIES_
nasty drone
Drones are autonomous flying enemies. They can fly at high speeds thanks to their powerful rotor engines. Drones are reportedly equipped with a laser cannon capable of burning dangerous criminals to a crisp. They can also shoot out a net to catch less dangerous criminals or persons-of-interest who are not supposed to be harmed.
QUANTRON humanoid robot 9000
The humanoid robots are the mechanical police force of New Eden. They are typically deployed to guard high-security assets throughout the city. These menacing robots are equipped with a plethora of tools: laser burner, flashlight, weapons, bottle-opener, etc. Their servos have enough mechanical power to lift a tree out of the ground. Just like the drones, they’re not here to hurt Adam, they want to capture him alive.
FEATURES_
STEALTH OR DIE
In the world of SUS, you have no power over your enemies. You’re completely vulnerable! Without any combat capability, your only chance of surviving is through stealth. To your help, you can switch between two unique characters… At any time!
Scan your surroundings and work out how to use them to your advantage. Make the most of each character’s unique abilities to trick your enemies, sneak past them and stay undercover.
NO ORDINARY HEALTH SYSTEM
SUS replaces the old-school health bar with a threat level. It serves to immerse you even further into the story, bringing you closer to Adam, the ordinary boy whose life depends on outsmarting his enemies.
Stay undetected to keep the threat level low, or get detected to make enemies follow you, only to trick them into letting you into restricted areas. The threat level goes back down when you hide…
But you can’t stay hidden forever!
