CORE LOOP

From first decision to completed run.

a container-terminal job where the target can be reached by crane, ferry, or forged work route.

  1. 1Study the cargo manifest and patrol schedule
  2. 2Enter from a chosen edge of the harbor
  3. 3Ride boats, move containers, operate cranes, and avoid detection
  4. 4Tag or retrieve the correct cargo and trigger an altered security state
  5. 5Escape through any active route and spend earnings on new tools

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

A complete arc, not an endless grind.

Twenty-five jobs across fish market docks, container terminal, marina, shipyard, customs yard, and storm harbor. Each zone has normal operations and night-shift variants.

Reputation with three clients unlocks different jobs and endings. Tools are purchased with limited slots so players commit to an approach.

CONTROLS & ACCESSIBILITY

Clarity and assists are part of the design.

Move, sprint, crouch, interact, throw distraction, and use tool. The game pauses while viewing the manifest in standard mode.

Assists include slower suspicion, persistent patrol trails, pause-on-spotted, simplified cargo clues, and instant restart. A non-stealth route remains possible but lowers payout rather than causing automatic failure.
