The Cove: Technique Breakdown
|
The player exits the cave passage to an open raised vista, looking up at the Facility. This contrast in spaces and lighting help create a sense of awe. Leading lines, framing, contrasting colours and a spinning light draw the eye.
|
|
Players can see the route ahead from the initial vista, with multiple routes available. Risk vs reward comes into play, with some routes being more difficult than others - the beach route looks quicker but lacks soft cover. A raised area opposite breaks up space and makes the second half of the stealth section more visible.

|
Behind the building in the cove is a hidden route to the facility, rewarding the player for exploration and making the low-risk route interesting. The floor planks afford navigating between areas, and the pipes, resembling those on the face of the Facility, signpost the existence of a route which is partially obscured by the environment.
