Design Goals
- Focused on quickly iterating on whitebox design to drastically improve gameplay quality.
- Alter the Director AI to create a continuous cycle of peaks and lulls in the action.
- Place static objects in specific locations to encourage players to remain on the critical path.
- Destroy walls and open doors to further refine the critical path.
- Use light and silhouettes to help the players orient within the level.
