ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CAN I TEST THE GAME BEFORE THE MAIN STORY?
This game contains a training section (solo player) to familiarize yourself with the controls and basic mechanics. It usually takes about an hour to complete. This allows you to check if the game works properly on your computer, and to see if you like it at all. The story part is only playable with a Steam Friend who also owns the game.
ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY
- The game relies on investigation and the difficulty varies mainly with the amount of information you collect: the less you have, the more difficult it becomes
- For the sake of your own immersion, hints are incorporated in the environment and nothing is explicitly displayed on the HUD: this requires observation and reading
- Some situations require strategic analysis: choose your tactics carefully, certain choices can sometimes make situations more difficult than they are
ABOUT CO-OP LAN
The local mode is not a split screen mode, since the two players have strictly different points of view, it is played separately on two computers, like an internet game but on the local network.
ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL MODES
- Clock mode (speedrun): accurately measure the time it takes to complete the operation, ideal for speedrun
- USAC Real mode (permadeath): the failure is fatal, if you fail the operation, you start again from the beginning, ideal for those who are looking for a real challenge

This game is absolutely stellar. It's like the anti-clickbait. No matter what you think you're getting, you're getting that and more. I'd give this two thumbs up if I could.

I don't understand why more people don't know about this game. It is downright amazing. There are some difficult parts, but nothing is too ridiculous. It's a good mix of puzzle and action.
First tried this game in 2023 and my boyfriend (now husband) and we couldn't get past this one speed section. Tried it again in 2025 and finished it in one sitting with him. 1000% recommend!

An excellent coop experience, blending tough puzzles with a horror atmosphere and intense shootouts. I had so much fun playing through this with my brother, and no part of it was overtly frustrating. For only $15, its a steal for a fantastic coop game that's better than whats being churned out by multi-billion dollar companies.

Pretty fun little coop game! Puzzles are sometimes a bit unbalanced and random, combat a bit simplistic, but the audio and visual presentations are really well done. 9 hours of fun gameplay!

The atmosphere of this game is amazing it is one of the few games that has put me on edge i love expecting something around every corner but always being caught off guard

The most well-optimized game I've played in years. Most modern companies will pump games full of ultra high-poly models with 4k textures and do absolutely nothing for optimization. This game is 5 whole gigs, and it looks absolutely beautiful. Great lighting, clean models, smooth animations. On top of this it has a great story with interesting gameplay that doesn't hold your hand like most modern games. You have to actually use your brain and think about what you're doing and practice genuine communication with your coop partner in order to succeed. Fantastic game, highly recommend.

Non Spoiler Review:
I decided to start this with a friend who likes puzzles as the game description clearly highlighted the puzzle aspect. We got the feeling while we were playing that a lot of brain work has gone into creating the puzzles and I respect that. You cannot randomly press buttons and brute force through. You have to understand the mechanisms and functioning of the concerned puzzles. This has a lot of technical jargons and someone from a Science background(especially Physics) will feel right at home but you do not have to know how these things work in real life. You can do them as a gamer and all the puzzles felt rewarding to understand and complete expect for maybe one which involved the Quantum panel and Crane.
We decided that at half way of the game we will switch characters so that we both get to experience the other characters. I enjoyed being the Digital Operator more because I liked the terminal commands and the heavy arsenal. Infiltrator has more Equipment than weaponry. and is more flexible to use.
Action Sequences have their glory moments too and on one or two moments we were on edge but we persevered and did it. Highly recommend to someone who loves puzzle and an fps balance. The game balances these two components as well. The graphics are decent and you need some patience and synergy with your co op partner for this as there is dependency on one another. I had a good experience with this game and it deserves more awareness for people to know it.
