Hundreds of very short training challenges stripped from the original Metal Gear Solid — sneak past guards, clear a room, solve a weapon puzzle — set in abstract wireframe rooms with no world attached. It is the pure mechanical core of the game and nothing else. There is no story to speak of, and this PC release is a widely criticised port that many players replace with a community fix.
Where it drifts furthest from The WereCleaner: setting and tone.
On reception: its Steam reviews are very positive, against overwhelmingly positive for The WereCleaner.
It predates The WereCleaner by 25 years, with what that implies technically.
