Late Stage Inferno

Late Stage Inferno is a stealth action game about a creature stolen from its ravaged planet. You hunt the humans responsible, working through their ships to reach the head of the invading company. The 1–2 hour story spans eight ships, each themed around a different level of what the game describes as a capitalist hell, from scientists who took breeding too far to mercenaries who kill their own to advance.

Hunt through the ships

Humans are too tough to fight head-on, so you avoid detection and take them out one at a time. Track their scent and climb walls and ceilings to stay out of sight; crawling through tight spaces lets you use the ships’ architecture, but you cannot attack while prowling this way. You can kill from above or behind, dodge bullets and avoid traps.

You can pick up and hide bodies, slam doors on humans, and use terminals to turn off lights or lock doors. Throw cans to distract or stun them, or lure them into traps. Avoid setting off alarms: people can flee, alert others, set traps and hunt you down. Non-player characters also react to your presence and to bodies you leave behind.

Levels and scoring

The game has nine levels with different soundtracks, set across eight ships. Each level ends with a score.
