14 DAY TRIAL // Danish independent developer Logic Artists announces that Clandestine, its asymmetrical cooperative globetrotting spy thriller, has reached alpha status.
The game is set in the mid-'90s, offering a deep and dark storyline that's the ultimate spy fantasy, alongside an innovative cooperative concept that presents new gameplay mechanics.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a string of accidents put the world of espionage on alert, as somebody is targeting both Soviet and NATO spies all around the globe.
Developer Logic Artists has revealed some new details regarding the two distinct roles that players will be cast in Clandestine, The Spy and The Hacker.
The game uses familiar third-person stealth and infiltration mechanics, from concealed weapons to cover shooting, stealth takedowns, and a slew of cool gadgets, which the spy has to utilize in various locales across two continents.
The Hacker utilizes a 2D computer interface that's inspired by '90s technology in order to support the spy's actions on the ground, by hacking and controlling security cameras, either locking or unlocking digitally connected doors and security systems, distracting guards and bribing enemies, as well as coordinating health and ammo drops for his partner.
"The symbiotic relationship between the Spy and the Hacker forms the backbone of Clandestine's gameplay mechanics, as to achieve success players must work together and communicate to overcome obstacles and escape dangerous situations. Now that we have reached the alpha milestone we are really ironing out the co-op features of Clandestine to make sure that whether gamers prefer to play as Hacker or Spy, each role is equally as fun, interesting and satisfying," says Jonas Wæver, lead designer for Logic Artists.
