The game's action is divided between gun combat and stealth. With emphasis on players making use of different psychic abilities to survive against hostile opponents.

Gameplay

In the game, players control the story's protagonist through a series of levels. In which the aim is to complete a series of tasks, dealing with hostile enemies and some minor puzzle-solving. The game's action is view through a third-person perspective, though at times players switch to a first-person viewpoint under certain conditions (i.e. crawling through a vent). Each level features different situations, ranging from full-scale combat situations. To the use of stealth and subterfuge to get around enemies and achieve important goals. When combat situations are inevitable in most levels, players can, along with engaging enemies in close combat. Utilizes a variety of fire-arms to deal with hostiles - pistols, sub-machine guns, assault rifles and sniper rifles. With gun combat featuring the ability to hide behind cover. And a targeting system that allows players to lock-on to enemies and fine-tune their aim to hit specific body parts on an opponent.

Avoid Combat 

However, in levels where combat should be avoid, players engage in stealth by staying out of sight of enemies through the use of cover, with the ability to knock out opponents with a silence tranquilliser gun. In addition to enemies, player must also avoid security cameras. But these can shut down if the player finds the computer terminal that controls them.

Also if the player is spot by an enemy/camera when trying to be stealthy, an alarm is trigger that not only increases the number of enemies in the section of the level that the player is in. But also causes all enemies to seek them out and engage them; the alarm is only cancel out when enemies cannot find the player after a period of time. Moreover, in some levels, the player must solve a minor puzzle, which may involve anything such as finding a password to operate a computer system.

Protagonist's Ability

Moreover, Second Sight's most unique aspect of gameplay is the protagonist's ability to use a variety of psychic powers. Which can use either to aid the player in combat, avoid detection, and help to solve some puzzles. At the start of the game, the player begins with only a few powers. But unlock new ones and upgrades to those they possess as the story progresses. Such powers drain the players psychic energy either in a set amount or over time; if the player is drain of psychic energy. Then they are momentarily stun for a few seconds, leaving them vulnerable.

One unique power that the players gain access to at the start of the game is the ability to heal themselves, which is later upgrade to allow the player to heal allies that they have in later stages of the game. In some of the earlier stages, players do not possess psychic abilities, meaning that any damage they take can only be heal by finding first aid kits within the level.

Description

Players meet John Vattic, a man subject to traumatic surgery and experimentation. Haunted by flashbacks, his only choice is to escape and figure out what happen to him. As Vattic struggles to piece together the past and present, players will uncover a strange chain of events leading to a fatal conspiracy.
