Here is an excerpt from Sliding Hero's Steam description:

Sliding Hero is a brainteasing explorative puzzle game where you can only slide in a single direction until hitting an obstacle. Will you outsmart the villa’s many trials and unmask the truth behind your imprisonment?

A PUZZLE METROIDVANIA OF MOVEMENT AND MYSTERY - Imprisoned in a sinister Venetian villa, use your wits to help Luca Sicomoro, a Serenissima military man, escape. Every move is a test of strategy, turning movement into a puzzle. Navigate a dark and intricate world inspired by 1700s Venice and Carnival’s masked mystique, where danger and deception lurk in every shadow.

MASTER THE SLIDE - Use environmental hazards, weapons, artefacts, and your momentum to dispatch enemies and avoid deadly traps. Each encounter is a skill test, where puzzle-solving and combat seamlessly intertwine in an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master movement system.

EXPLORE AN INTERCONNECTED WORLD - The villa is a maze of hidden passageways, locked doors, and secrets waiting to be uncovered. Unlock new tools that let you backtrack to previously unreachable areas, forge shortcuts, and interact with the eccentric and enigmatic characters who dwell within.
