You Can Get Dark Stealth Game About a Ferret and Robots for Free on Steam — The Game Has 96% Positive Reviews
Artis Kenderik
On Steam you can get Not My War — a free isometric stealth adventure that's already being compared to Stray, but with a much more tense and hardcore slant. The game launched on November 20 and instantly gathered "Very Positive" reviews — 96% based on the first 87 reviews.
You'll play as a ferret created in a laboratory and left on an island after a war between humans and machines. The humans are gone — only combat robots roam the ruins, and the player's main task is to escape before time runs out.
What awaits inside the game?
- Stealth with lots of tools: you can blind sensors with a flash, throw objects for distraction, use smoke, and hide in burrows.
- Day and night cycle: at night patrols intensify and visibility drops.
- Island exploration: abandoned trenches, destroyed warehouses, remains of military equipment, stories of other survivors — experimental creatures like you.
- Limited inventory: you'll have to choose what to take with you, like in Resident Evil.
The game is completely free, with no monetization — a regular release from small team 24-Pack Studios. Steam reviews are very warm: they praise the atmosphere, sound, tense gameplay, and "surprisingly high-quality" work from a small team.
You're a rat on an island with robots that want to crush you.
Unexpectedly good game. Great stealth mechanics, and every fight is absurd and memorable.
Very atmospheric and feels like AA studio work. Beautiful, tense, made with love.
Gameplay is nerve-wracking, constantly hiding in burrows from machines, blinding sensors with a flashlight — pure bliss.
In addition to praise, reviews also mention problems — mainly complaints about "invisible walls" and moments when the game won't let you go further. One player writes that they literally hit emptiness and can't get to the next zones. Others note rare bugs with progress. The developer has already responded to such comments: acknowledged the problem and promised fixes in upcoming patches. Judging by the tone of responses, updates are indeed coming out quickly — the community has already received several hot-fixes and noted the work with the community.
