What was said about Sly Cooper
Sly Cooper guards carry torches whose light pools show where they can see. Guards in Sly Cooper carry torches that cast pools of yellow light, and standing in the light gets you spotted. The player reads the guard's perception from the world itself, with no interface overlay.
