Could you build this?

Partial Core stealth mechanics and a short game loop are vibe-codeable in an engine like Unity or Godot, but polished 3D art, animation, and monster AI tuning need real game-design and asset skills.

What it would actually take: Architecture would be a 3D engine project (Unity or Godot) with a camouflage/visibility system, NavMesh-based monster AI, and a Windows build. The hard parts are level and asset quality, animation, and balancing tension and stealth feel. This requires game design and 3D art skills or paid asset packs, plus playtesting.
