The mist concept itself was generally well-received, as well as the very first prototype, showcasing the basic mist\/enemy interaction, but a lot of the feedback pointed toward the need to clarify orientation, ability design, camera behavior, enemy readability, and how the mist should actually support stealth and navigation. Though many of the design details were still unfinished and needed to be settled down in the next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li
