Our take on Level 22: Gary’s Misadventures - 2016 Edition
Concentrating the action in one office building gives the game a focused setting for hiding, distractions, and workplace sabotage. The trade-off is a narrower range of locations and situations than a stealth game built around multiple environments.
What is Level 22: Gary’s Misadventures - 2016 Edition?
Gary must cross 22 office floors after arriving late for work again.
The stealth gameplay centers on avoiding detection while moving from the basement through the research and development labs to the boss’s office. Players can hide in closets, crawl through vents, move along walls, conceal themselves behind newspapers, or use cardboard boxes. The office also provides ways to distract or interfere with others: donuts can draw security guards away, vending machines can be damaged, and photocopiers can be fooled. Other possible actions include knocking out or poisoning colleagues, exposing them to harmful radiation, and distributing laxatives. The aim is to reach Gary’s office without being spotted.
