Classic stealth games get a humorous tribute in this 2D stealth action-adventure. You play Jesse Fox, held at a secret military facility for a crime he did not commit, who must escape using improvised gadgets, quick talking, explosives and, if needed, his fists. Taking down enemies quietly earns experience and skills, and you uncover a hidden plot as you work your way out.
At points, Jesse is interrogated by a lieutenant and recounts how the escape went, which feeds the comedy. UnMetal's tone is irreverent, with absurd moments such as impersonating a cat. Single-player with full controller support, it suits fans of old-school stealth action who like jokes with their infiltration.
