“Extreamly fun little co-op game that essentially lets you and a friend be the stars of a Mission Impossible movie. With one of you running around in first person doing spy stuff and the other player doing hacking stuff.…”

“Really fun. Played the hacker and played it with my BF. Had a great time. A little short but I do recommend it on sale for 7USD. You only need to buy one copy as well, so that's a bonus.”
“Fun, but short campaign. Challenge Mode didn't interest me, because I don't enjoy the constant time pressure. Worth picking up on sale!”
“I'm in! Only 4 hours later, case closed and now I am out a couple bucks and a game I will never play again in my library... I guess it was fun while it lasted.. Worth it during a big sale, otherwise not worth it.”

“Short but fun coop game, high replayability with different friends and swapping roles.”
“Very fun game. Each mission is different from the other, and fun to replay as the other agent. The challenges add a bit more and make the total playtime just right.”
“Such a creative indie game! Oh my gosh it's been years since I've played something this fun and innovative. Reminded me of "Keep talking and nobody explodes" in some aspects. Can't wait to play the campaign again as the…”

“5 year old game still has the same bugs it had 5 years ago. imagine playing a puzzle game, getting told that you're doing the wrong thing, when in reality its just a bug. after finding out bugs like that exist, it just…”
“Mission 5 is buggy. Not only do the door codes not work, but the IP address doesn't match the generated one. We checked the discussions and this ban is already 3-5 years old.”
“Super stressful, no explanation on how missions work, and still has quite some bugs. Pls fix the bugs, because you cannot safe the game and its required to replay the whole level again... 5/10”

“Concept is good but it wasn't that fun to play. Gameplay is like "We Are Here" but much better. It's a bunch of a mini-puzzles that rely mostly on good communication and coordination, there's almost no action. So the…”

“A fun, quick asymmetrical co-op game, that heavily relies on good communication. Puzzles are not too complicated, but their themes vary enough to keep it interesting. Since the player experience is so different, depending on whether you play as the hacker or the agent the first…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Fun, but short in general 8/10. I only played the game as "The Agent" so the review is from that perspective. Overall---------- PROS ---Puzzles. Many puzzles are small but require teamwork from your partner. They are not too complicated but still can require a bit of thinking.…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Absolutely stellar game. My wife and I played through it, and it was delightful. If I have one criticism, it's just too darn short. But, it's absolutely delightful and relatively replayable too! 11/10, would recommend even at full price”
