About the Game
IMPORTANT
This game requires you to find someone to play with. If you can't find anyone in your immediate circle, log on to our Discord server and leave a message in the Partner-search section.
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
I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
Come to the Discord, the link to our server is available higher up on this page, in the links to our community section. - Clock mode (speedrun): accurately measure the time it takes to complete the operation, ideal for speedrun
Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
We decided to make one change about the Infiltration Agent
Many of you have identified a certain imbalance in terms of participation between the two classes. The Digital Operator often had to read a lot of information while the Infiltration Agent was waiting. It was decided that the Infiltration Agent could access the database to brainstorm puzzles with his partner. This eliminates "holes" in the gameplay and improves cooperation. However, the database is shared with the Infiltration Agent over a certain distance (like a wifi signal), the strength of the signal decreases with the distance from the Digital Operator and also with the presence of walls between the source and its receiver. This still allows for some asymmetry during key moments (when the two are far apart) but also allows them to think together when they are together.
Other changes
We look for where things can get potentially frustrating and reinforce the weak points.
- Princeps: the electric motor is now scannable (it was too difficult to spot otherwise) ;
- When a hacking task encountered an error, it was sometimes hard to know that you had to enter a command to restart (it was drowned in the terminal). Now this command is explicitly shown directly on the task module.
We continue to scan google and your reviews and see what we can improve. Thanks for your feedback ;)

Left handed users
We have adjusted the key bindings to be compatible with left-handed users: so it's now possible to rebind the arrow keys.
Note that if you have already launched a previous version of the game, you will have to reset the inputs in the controls menu before attempting to rebind the arrow keys.
Bindings issues
We also fixed an issue with the reset key bindings functionality.
We'll be there for you if you have any problems! ;)
Questions Factory
As always, we thank all those who support us in this adventure!
Every day we take a close look at the feedback you give us in order to improve the game experience. So we have detected a few things that needed to be fixed.
Training section
According to your feedback, the training section needed to be improved as it represented an unjustified difficulty. There were also missing explanations in the mini lessons of the tutorial.
- We have improved the training courses by including more explanations about the Infiltration Agent and the gameplay in general;
- We changed the way the Infiltration Agent had to distract the guards;
- For both classes, we removed the mobile guard which was too difficult to manage.
Small fixes
- Default input binding for Move Left is reset to A;
- Default input binding for Trample is reset to Z;
- We corrected some geometry clipping issues;
- Puzzle: Train Station - no longer possible to activate the lever without removing the plate.
Enhancements
- We added some hints for the Princeps area;
- We added one energy station in the registration area (to avoid penalizing those who have no energy from the start);
- Now possible to quit the external interface of the backpack by pressing the Escape key.
Changes in the EULA: we simply changed the contact email address.
Thank you for all your feedbacks!
