Masters of Creation · Godot 4.7 · Stealth
Late-Sengoku infiltration. Shadows, rooftops, and silence. Stay out of the lantern light, take the roof line, and leave before anyone knows you were there.
In development. Play the current build in the browser, or download Android, Windows, and Linux.
The night
Every lantern, brazier and moonlit courtyard feeds a live illumination map. Crouching, pressing to a wall, and standing still all change how visible you are. Cut the lights and a patrol route becomes a corridor you own.
Guards, archers, dogs and civilians share one alert state. A sentry who spots you shouts, and everyone converges on your last known position. Break the sight line, hide in a pot or a cupboard, take the rafters, and wait for the search to cool.
Buildings are traversable inside and out. Climb a ladder into the loft and the roof fades away so you can work the beams above a room, watching a patrol pass underneath.
Kaginawa grapple, shuriken, kunai, makibishi, smoke and noise bombs, poisons, disguises and decoys — nineteen tools, each on a loadout budget you choose before you go in.
What's in it
A training courtyard plus thirteen infiltrations, each ranked on stealth, mercy and speed.
Takeshi takes a hit and keeps going. Kaede is faster and quieter. Same missions, different night.
A pseudo-isometric camera you can spin and zoom, with cinematic angles in scripted places.
Touch controls, quality tiers, and a battery-saver mode. Controller and keyboard on desktop.
Local saves, no account, no connection required. The opening chapter is free.
Original code, levels, characters and audio. Licensed art is credited in the shipped manifest.
The look
The Ninja Scrolls takes its inspiration from classic PS1 stealth, but the code, levels, characters, missions and audio are our own. It is playable end to end and still being built — level art and lighting are the current pass, so gameplay captures land here when they do the game justice.
Get it
Android is the lead platform and the performance baseline. Desktop builds are the same game with keyboard and controller input.
