Among the various summer gifts we also point out a new free game available today on GOG.com and only for a few hours, therefore we recommend that you hurry up and download it if you are interested in a stealth action game in the style of Hotline Miami: it is Intravenous.
It is a 2D indie shooter characterized by a top-down view, which recalls Hotline Miami but actually takes up an old tradition of the genre, but enriches the structure with stealth elements. You can download Intravenous at this address on GOG, once logged in with your account.
Ultraviolence remains a major element of characterization here too, with lightning-fast clashes resulting in bloody and brutal killings, using various weapons and tactics.
Between Hotline Miami and Splinter Cell
It’s easy to see references to Hotline Miami in the general setting, the violence and even the particular dynamic movement of the camera, as well as the speed of the action, but the gameplay still has some peculiar elements.

First of all, the stealth elements are particularly developed and important in the development of the action.
Missions encourage you to take advantage of cover and operate in the shadows as much as possible, perhaps using ventilation ducts and passages that are not visible to enemies to take advantage of the surprise effect.
On the other hand, the high difficulty level forces you to use different methods to try to approach enemies unnoticed and thus unleash carnage from close range and before they can react to the attack.
You basically have one day to download Intravenous for free, with the offer expiring tomorrow at 2:30 PM.
