Not The Robots

Not The Robots turns stealth into a neat little rule set: you are a shape in a generated office, trying to eat furniture and not be seen while the room rearranges around you. By our assessment, the charm comes from that odd premise and the way it turns hiding into a puzzle about line of sight and awkward movement. The limit is obvious too, because the joke and the system are closely tied; once the surprise of the premise fades, there is not much else here to lean on. In practice it feels twitchy, strict, and slightly absurd in a good way. It sits somewhere between arcade stealth experiments and short-run roguelike ideas. Not The Robots is best when a player enjoys being asked to squeeze through a space that keeps changing shape.
