I felt like a true spy; it has challenging puzzles just right and is a lot of fun to play with a friend.

Great cooperative game. The roles are distinct, the story doesn't take itself too seriously and just serves to serve you the fun gameplay. Played this with my partner accross the room, which I think might reduce the feel of being two agents on very different jobs, but made communication even easier. Will probably replay to experience the other agent's gameplay in the future.

This makes you feel like you are in a heist movie! I played as the agent and think it would be fun to replay again as the hacker. This game relies on asymetrical gameplay, similar to "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes", but in this case both players have different set of instructions they have to convey to their partner. The hint system was also well integrated, both players need to select it to come into play, but didn't use it too much to know how helpful it is.

I wish the game had more levels, I wasn't ready for it to be over after the 6th mission. Last level was kinda janky, should have died multiple times but teleported to the end. The name seems like a pun on "It Takes Two to Tango". Love how this comes with a free friend pass, only have to buy the game once!

While there are a few good level ideas here, the game's overreliance on repeatable minigames instead of actual communication with your partner makes the experience numb even at a very short 3-hour playtime.
It's not bad, and the hacker aesthetic is pretty good, but it doesn't make this game feel less "skippable" for those who have played some asymetric coop games.
Also, a part of the final level is so confusing, I don't get how you could solve it without using a hint.
(big + for requiring only one copy to play online, though!)

This was cute. Me and my friend have really gotten into this niche co-op escape room genre games, and while this one didn't impress us as much as the We Were Here series (especially the last couple) we still had a good time with it. It wasn't quite as tightly crafted but still had some unique puzzles.

Bon jeu de coop avec un concept d'agent et d'informateur, c'est original.
