Clandestine - Playthrough Diary

by Myrthos, 2014-12-09 22:03:08

Aubrielle was invited by Logic Artists to join them in a playthrough session of Clandestine, the co-op spy game in which she plays the female spy.

In my playthrough, I played as Katya, complete with fire engine red hair and flannel, as I killed my way through some warehouse in search of mysterious pieces of intel, stored on 3.5" floppy disks.  Alex played as Martin, the wizard-behind-the-curtain, disabling cameras, watching my progress, alerting me to danger, and generally being a sort of deus ex machina figure.  And this is the way co-op works in Clandestine - the spy does the dirty work, but all she knows about her environment is what she can see.  It's nerve-wracking and even frightening at times.  The hacker can see most things, either through his magic Windows 95 terminal or through the closed-circuit cameras he can manipulate, though he's limited to some extent - for instance, he can only see guards and other foes once he sees them through the cameras.  The hacker can't really intervene for the spy, either, so if he sees danger, all he can do is tell the spy about it and hope she reacts in time.  It really does force both players to rely on each other completely, as two halves of one operation.  It's not about who can hose hordes of enemies with the most bullets.  It's real teamwork - patience and cold nerves.
