I really appreciated learning how much Immersive Sim is in Indiana Jones.
You get a hazy overhead map and need to navigate lots of hidden entrances, presented through verticality, exploring to find valuables. You can win in combat through good reflexes, but once surrounded your only option is to run. There's no detective vision, and it instead relies on vocal barks where guards chatter or cough or sneeze often enough to remind you where they are.
The stealth isn't fully on par, since you're low on gadgets and darkness doesn't seem to do a lot, but it's there. I got the same sense of glee as Soulslike games when I take a long circuit to some door, unlock it, and it leads back to a common area, providing me a new shortcut.
