[Invisible Inc.] Let me describe the complete clusterfuck which I just narrowly survived.
EsperBot
Invisible Inc. is a turn-based tactical stealth game.
EsperBot
It plays a lot like XCOM, except that if you get seen at all it's big fucking trouble because you cannot take more than one or two guys in a fight.
EsperBot
All levels are procedurally generated, and have the same goal: get in, find whatever thing you're supposed to steal, grab as many credits as you can, and then get the fuck out.
EsperBot
It's basically XCOM meets Monaco.
EsperBot
In this case, I was raiding a security office to steal a shipment of weapons.
EsperBot

Here is a very rough map.
EsperBot
The area to the north marked 'Here there be dragons'. It's the first place I went on the map. I cracked open two safes, and then hacked the wrong device and wound up spawning an elite guard right on top
EsperBot
of me.
EsperBot
I managed to get that sorted outbut it was only temporary, he would eventually follow me into the main part of the complex.
EsperBot
THe area to the south, I never even really saw.
EsperBot
I poked my head around the corner, saw a bunch of guards, and then immediately NOPED the fuck out.
EsperBot
The Goods are the target, in that tiny room off to the side.
EsperBot
I made it into the room called 'the shitshow', and then sent one person in to retrieve the goods while the other two agents look around for credits.
EsperBot
There were an awful lot of guards alerted, but they didn't know where I was, and they were looking in the wrong places...
EsperBot
and I mean look! Esape is right around the corner!
EsperBot
What could possibly go wrong?
EsperBot
S.N.A.F.U.
EsperBot
As it turns out, picking up the goods alerts all guards on the map to your presence
EsperBot
and spawns another elite guard to the south.
EsperBot
to your location I should say.
EsperBot
So now I have an elite coming at me from the north, an elite coming at me from the south, and like three regular guards coming in from all directions.
EsperBot
Fuck.
EsperBot
Oh, and one of my operatives is flat out of useful abilities for three turns.
EsperBot
Fuck.
EsperBot
I set up an ambush for the elite coming in from the north by the doorway, which took him out, but then the guards coming in from the south popped in at the worst possible time,
EsperBot
catching both the ambusher and Mr. Deadweight in their sight.
EsperBot
The ambusher could get away to cover. Mr. Deadweight could not.
EsperBot
I had no choice but to let him get shot, and then revive him next turn with some medgel.
EsperBot
By the time it was all sorted out, 4-5 unconscious guards were lying on the Shitshow Room floor, and we were bolting panickedly for the exit.
