Evotinction is a hack-and-stealth adventure from Spikewave Games that casts players as Thomas Liu, a researcher trapped inside a secretive facility after an outbreak of infected, hostile AI drones. Billed by its director as a love letter to Metal Gear Solid, the game blends stealth infiltration with hacking puzzles as Thomas works to uncover the truth behind the facility and stop the virus from spreading further.
Players sneak past patrolling drones and security systems, using hacking gadgets to disable cameras, turrets, and enemy units or turn them against each other, while piecing together the story of what happened inside the facility through environmental clues and recovered data. The approach favours careful planning and improvisation over direct confrontation, with multiple routes through each area.
