Stealth-action game where you guide special agent Solid Snake through a top-down 3D environment, avoiding guard sightlines and security systems inside a nuclear weapons facility. Getting spotted triggers alarms that flood your area with armed soldiers. You'll crawl through ventilation shafts, hide in lockers, use surveillance cameras against enemies, and tap walls to distract patrols. The story unfolds through codec radio conversations and in-engine cutscenes: rogue operatives from an elite unit have seized a base and threaten nuclear launch unless paid a billion-dollar ransom. You've got 24 hours to rescue two hostages and stop the threat. Expect long narrative sequences between infiltration segments. This pioneered cinematic storytelling in games while refining the mechanics established in earlier 2D entries.
