Heat Signature

A top-down stealth and strategy game set on spaceships. You pick a character, board a ship from a tiny pod and sneak through corridors, using gadgets, weapons and teleportation to complete randomly generated missions. Permadeath means failures stick, and play runs in real time with pause. Is it your kind of game?
