@brandang26: Usually installing off line is quicker as it wont be downloading any patches first, though they patched it a while ago to ask you if you would like to download the patch first.
For The Division 2 that game had a massive 50GB Day one patch and with it being a live game and needing a internet connection to play, they just put the most basic of files on the disc and you are essentially downloading the whole game with the Day One patch.
The most important thing about stealth in games, to me, is proper conveyance to the player that what they are doing or where they are hiding is working. Does crouching behind this box or is standing in this dark corner count as 'Hidden'. Now I see you are making a horror game so you don't want to give to much information to the player for a sense of tension, but it should not be a complete guessing game of frustration.
Another thing is striking the delicate balance of punishment for being caught. You should be punished for screwing up but a player should be able to fight there way back to safety in a way that just going 'Gung-Ho' is quicker/easier but not hampered in a way that it's quicker to just hit Quick-Load.
