Tactical Underground Stealth Action. This crazy-looking glitch lets you drop yourself down into the floor and sneak up on unsuspecting land-based mammals.

On any flat surface, cycle rapidly between crouching and prone. (Sometimes you may need to move a bit as well.) If done correctly, you'll sink into the floor and end up in a crouching position with just your head cresting above the tiles. When you stop moving, you'll drop back down into the depths from which you inserted yourself. You can also easily perform Physics Crushes while in the ground, since it's incredibly confusing for the game.

This likely happens because of confused hitboxes, with the crouch position not placing Amber quite right when switching to prone. Repeated switching exacerbates the problem and pushes her into the ground. I believe she doesn't fall straight through because the tiles are actually cube-shaped assets that appear invisible from the inside, feeding into the illusion that Amber's walking on nothing sometimes.


The glitch isn't supremely useful because the ground doesn't act to impair the vision of guards, meaning you get caught out even when they shouldn't be able to see you. Additionally, cover doesn't help you either, because it typically doesn't extend through the floor. The soldiers will see you at the bottom of their cone of vision, underneath any wall or pillar. Still, it's a funny glitch that's simple to pull off even if it's far too slow for any speedruns or time trials.

Otherwise, it's important to point out that you can't do this on stairs and sloped surfaces, at least as I can gather from my testing.

These clips were recorded in Prototype 0.6.7.


Despite the video, I actually enjoy this game a lot even in this pretty glitchy state, and I'd love to see it finished. If it looks interesting to you, be sure to check out the Kickstarter or download the demo on Steam and try it yourself.
