Although the game is short, it is very enjoyable to play and has a nice story. It is also open to the workshop.

Gunpoint is a stealth puzzle game that lets you rewire its levels to trick people. You play a freelance spy who takes jobs from his clients to break into high-security buildings and steal sensitive data.
To get past security, you’ll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink. It lets you see how all the security devices in a level are wired up, and then you can just click and drag with the mouse to wire them differently. So you can connect a light switch to a trapdoor, then flick it when a guard walks across to make him fall through.
Gunpoint is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn’t overstep those boundaries. It’s a puzzle platformer with a noir/spy aesthetic. It’s short but sweet, it doesn’t bore and doesn’t frustrate. It’s enjoyable, nothing less, little more. That is what makes it so very palatable and easy to like. It keeps itself to a baseline that is squarely a good one. I genuinely wish more games were like this.
