Cyberpunk stealth FPS Misha hits 20,000 wishlists on Steam thanks to its physics

Indie game Misha has crossed 20,000 wishlists on Steam. It's a first-person stealth shooter set in a cyberpunk world, where you play as a hacker whose mercenary partner has had her brain transplanted into a curvaceous female android body.

The gameplay teaser that drove most of that momentum has gotten a mixed reaction. The clip leans hard into the character's appearance – a good chunk of the footage is spent with the first-person camera pointed firmly downward.

As one player put it:

GOTY. Amazing gameplay teaser. How clever to add difficulty to navigation mechanics by making the player watch the floor most of the game. Hopefully there's lot of different floor textures for variety.

Others were more straightforward about it.

I'm a simple man. I see jiggle, I click. I see jiggle prominently in promotional material, I wonder what all these people complaining about the state of gaming are on about.

Another added:

Sex appeal will always sell just make sure it has good gameplay loop and story and the real gamers fans will be there simple also make it cheap.

20,000 wishlists is a solid number for an indie title, and in this case it looks like the marketing approach did most of the heavy lifting – not press coverage or streamer exposure. Whether the game itself holds up beyond the trailers is a question for release day.

No launch date has been announced yet.
