Rain Is Cover is a top down stealth game drawn in a four-tone Game Boy green palette, and you play it in the Roam app on iPhone.

A top down stealth game with style
Classic stealth works best when you can see what the guards see. Rain Is Cover shows it plainly: every patrol carries a torch, and the cone of light is the danger zone. Everything else, the crates, the rain, the dark water, is cover.
The green palette is the first thing people notice. It looks like a lost Game Boy game, with dithered shadows and a tiny hero. On a phone the colors can be tricky at first, so take a second to find your character before you move.
If you like Metal Gear Solid
The core idea is the one Metal Gear made famous: a top-down view, guards with vision cones and a quiet route to an objective. Rain Is Cover is much smaller, one pier and one piece of intel per mission, but the tension of waiting for a cone to swing past is the same.
Tips for a clean run
Watch a patrol loop once before you move. Light cones are predictable. Use the minimap to see guards you cannot spot on screen. Read the contract popup at the start, since a rule like NO PEBBLES means you cannot rely on one of your items.
