Splinter Cell Overview
You guide Sam through a series of side-scrolling rooms using your mouse. Clicking makes him move, and you interact with objects like doors or computers by clicking on them. The main goal is to reach the exit in each level without being seen. You spend a lot of time waiting in dark corners, watching the patrol patterns of guards. The game emphasizes patience; moving while a guard is looking your way means instant failure. It is a slow, methodical puzzle where you learn the timing of every light and every enemy turn. The challenge comes from memorizing these patterns and executing the right moves without error. It feels like a careful, tense game of cat and mouse played on a silent grid.
