Description From a 2018 dream, some doodles of a game where the goal was to avoid being caught by these government surveillance bots called "Watcher Crows" in a dystopian future setting.

It was mostly a stealth game, and the gameplay involved walking down these grey foggy streets in first person, trying not to enter the slight-line of the many Watcher Crows who'd be walking around. If you crossed their line of sight and didn't keep on walking, their red LED eyes would flash like police lights and they would try to chase you down.

The layout of the environment was randomly generated, so some crows would be stuck in the wall when they spawned in, or streetlamps and other objects would spawn inside each other.


At some point, you'd come across this warehouse building with a convenient hiding place just across from it. You could go to the hiding place, and the gameplay would change to become a stealth sniper game. The Watcher Crows who were guarding the building looked more like generic human thug enemies wearing Watcher Crow heads. I try to shoot at some from behind the cover, and I got one before missing the second shot and alerting the others. The sniper rifle I was using looked and worked more like a machine gun and it had no reticle, so was difficult to aim.
