Ahoy, Matey!
Its a fun game of stealthily hiding in the bushes and attacking when enemies least expect it.
The Environment is Your Playground
Often, youll have to cover your tracks.
Alternatively, you could use Suleidys cover seeds (or bush) to hide dead bodies instantly.
Or Quentins treasure rod to drag corpses into the chest on his back.
So, no hiding of the dead bodies is needed.
Some traps can easily take down a group of enemies without breaking a sweat.
Not only environmental traps come in handy.
There are plenty of hiding spots, too, just within the environment itself.
There are the usual bushes that come in handy at night.
Or buildings that have well-placed corners and obstacles that provide the perfect cover.
Additionally, there are objects that you’re free to interact with, too.

Pull Up Enemy View Cones
How do you know when a guard can see you, you ask?
Well, you pull up their view cones beforehand.
The enemy view cones help to assure you that its safe to pass through a certain place.
When you turn them on, they appear like an actual cone showing a guards vision.
Youll see that the cones have a partially stripped and filled part.
The stripped part shows that the area is a no-go.
However, the stripped part is free for you to move.
Remember, though, that you must always move while crouching.
If you walk upright, the guards will see you.
Also, the view cones only come in handy during the night.
When the view cones turn yellow, it means you have been spotted.
So now, you either run and hide until the guards calm down or take the fight to them.
If they turn red, it means the guards have reached where you are.
They will attack you, and, well, its game over.
And not just for a moment.
you could set it always show guards and objects.
The good news is that you dont have to pause the game to highlight useful features.

Theres always room to give it another spin.
