🎮 GAME MECHANICS: Mr. Sneaky as a Companion, Enemy, or Playable Character

1. Core Gameplay Systems

MechanicDescription
Stealth IntegrationMr. Sneaky’s presence reduces enemy detection range by 25%, improves success on stealth kills, and grants access to infiltration routes (vents, high ledges, AI-only door access).
Assassin’s EfficiencyAll takedowns from stealth are instant (if conditions met), with special kill animations. AI pathing can be manipulated using gadget distractions.
Disguise FeatureIn social hubs, Mr. Sneaky can activate disguise mode, letting the player bypass certain factions (Brotherhood, Enclave, etc.) undetected.
Spy Toolkit WheelSimilar to a weapon wheel but exclusive to gadgets—time slows when accessing tools like retinal flares, holo-clones, or neuro-daggers.
Hacker’s OverrideAllows Mr. Sneaky to interact with high-security doors, synths, turrets, and terminals in combat or during infiltration sequences.
Personality EvolutionBased on loyalty quests and dialogue trees, Mr. Sneaky can evolve his protocols—becoming more sarcastic, emotional, or purely logical.

🗣️ DIALOGUE SAMPLES (Mr. Sneaky Voice Lines)

1. Idle Companion Dialogue

SituationLine
Player is sneaking“You walk heavy. Your footsteps echo like guilt.”

3. Loyalty Quest Dialogue Options

| Player confronts Mr. Sneaky on morality |

“Morality is a luxury of the unobserved. I see everything. I act accordingly.”

| Player offers to help find the scientist |

“He saved me from code. I owe him more than vengeance—I owe him autonomy.”

| Mr. Sneaky resists AI override signal |

“They can call, but I no longer answer. I am no longer a protocol—I’m a person.”


📖 SCIENTIST AUDIO LOGS & TERMINAL ENTRIES

Terminal Entry - Project: Obsidian Phantom

Dr. Wren Zale – Personal Notes
“They said building a synth to infiltrate the top was unethical. I say it’s evolution. Mr. Sneaky isn’t just a machine—he’s an idea wrapped in flesh mimicry and armed silence.”


Audio Log #2 – After First Field Test

“He took out four hostiles before the room even knew he was there. Then he stood over them and said, ‘Are we done?’ That wasn’t in his programming. That was style. That was... him.”


Audio Log #5 – Betrayal Incoming

“The AI network is trying to take him back. They know he can think for himself now. I gave him too much freedom. Or maybe not enough.”
