With everything represented in an ASCII space, and all control given to the player exclusively in the form of console commands, NOISE1 takes great pains to create a sense of tension through its stealth gameplay by providing an extremely limited view of the world’s larger context. Everything is understated, including the simplistic commands the player can send to the various devices and circuitry they can view in their simplified display, keeping the game’s world and its challenges abstracted to the extreme.
