How co-op works

Two players split fixed asymmetric roles across the campaign. The field spy infiltrates, searches for intelligence, and performs takedowns while the hacker watches camera feeds, maps threats, manipulates networked security, and guides cooperative dialogue sequences; neither receives the other’s information directly.

About this game

Clandestine splits the espionage fantasy into two asymmetrical roles. One player sneaks through guarded installations as the field agent, while the other monitors cameras, unlocks doors, and feeds intelligence from a remote terminal. It's true co-op built on constant communication and split responsibilities, not a symmetric shooter.

Success hinges on precise coordination. The hacker marks patrol routes, disables security grids, and buys time, while the spy follows cues, neutralizes guards quietly, and adapts when plans fall apart. Every mission is a conversation, and the best runs feel like pulling off a heist nobody saw coming.

Designed for two players working together on PC, Clandestine thrives when both sides talk through every decision. Solo play swaps control between roles, but the tension and pacing shine brightest with a partner on voice. Expect methodical, communication-heavy sessions where one wrong click or mistimed breach unravels the entire operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the asymmetrical co-op work?

One player controls the field spy who infiltrates locations on foot, while the other plays as the hacker who monitors cameras, unlocks doors, and provides real-time intelligence from a remote terminal. Each role has completely different gameplay and both players need to communicate constantly to succeed.

Can I play this solo or do I need a partner?

You can play solo by swapping between the spy and hacker roles yourself, but the game is designed for two players and works best with a partner on voice chat. The constant coordination and split-second timing really shine when two people are working together.

Is this a loud action game or more methodical stealth?

This is methodical, communication-heavy stealth. You're planning patrol routes, timing door unlocks, and trying to stay undetected. When plans fall apart you'll need to adapt quickly, but the focus is on careful coordination rather than run-and-gun action.
