Summary
Clandestine is a 2-player or singleplayer stealth/hacking game set in 1996. Asymmetrical co-op allows one player to take the role of the spy while a friend provides overwatch and assistance as the hacker, and unravel a post-Cold War espionage conspiracy.
The year is 1996, five years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. A string of accidents and murders gone mostly unnoticed by the public eye have put the world of international espionage on high alert - veteran Cold War operatives from both sides of the former Iron Curtain are being assassinated around the globe. High-ranking officials of the CIA and the FSB secretly establish a joint task force to investigate the leaks. Codenamed The Kingbridge Executive, the group is funded with whatever money could be skimmed off of official projects and staffed by whoever could be spared from official operations. As field operative Katya Kozlova or hacker Martin Symborski, you will be deployed on dangerous missions across Europe and North America, chasing the source of the leaks.
Key Features
- Single Player & Asymmetrical co-op: Play as the spy while a friend guides you through the missions or take on the role of the hacker to crack infrastructure and defeat security systems.
- A return to hard-core stealth games where the enemies are lethal and combat is unforgiving.
- A deep hacking system built around core stealth game mechanics, rife with options to manipulate the game world and mess with your enemies.
- Use social engineering in cooperative dialogue sequences to bypass security checkpoints and gain entry to restricted areas.
- Your actions won't go unnoticed - the story will respond to how much evidence you leave in each mission and how many dead bodies you leave in your wake.
Playing as the Spy
The role of the Spy will be familiar to fans of stealth/action games. As the Spy, you will experience Clandestine as a 3rd person game, controlling the movements and actions of Katya in the game world. Katya is the boots on the ground, armed with weapons and gadgets that you can use to stay alive and evade your opponents. Katya is also well trained in hand-to-hand combat, and can use lethal or non-lethal stealth takedowns to take down enemies, leaving behind as little evidence as possible. During the mission, it also falls to the Spy to search for dossiers and intel to unlock new equipment and software for subsequent missions.
Playing as the Hacker
Martin operates in an entirely different way than the spy, which is reflected in the hacker player's interface and game mechanics. As the Hacker, players have access to four game windows and a toolbar. These game windows are: the Camera Feed, the Console, the Network View, and the Tactical Map.
Camera Feed
The Camera Feed allows the hacker to observe the game world and scout ahead for the Spy. By default, the Camera Feed displays the Operative Camera (a hidden camera worn by Katya), but you can also jump into surveillance cameras on the Tactical Map (see below) to look through them and scout the levels for enemies and other threats. The Camera Feed also displays the status of the Spy's health.
Console
The Console always displays game Objectives at the top of the window and prints important information in the Message Log such as cracked keypad codes. You can also use it to communicate with the Spy via the in-game text chat.
Network View
The Network View window is where Hackers can access the computer network(s) which run all of the electronic infrastructure in the mission area. This includes door keypads, PCs, Servers, Firewalls, and Hazards (steam pipes and electrical boxes which can be triggered to cause "accidents"). Hackers must be mindful of the Network Admin, an enemy AI which searches for changes in the Network and tries to correct them. Not only will the Admin kick a hacker from the Network if caught, the Admin will also reset firewalls and pass-codes. Hackers can unlock Viruses and DDOS attacks to keep the Admin busy when trying to escape or complete an objective.
Tactical Map
The Tactical Map is the window Hackers use to provide direct support to their Spy partners. This includes gaining access to cameras for scouting and observation, tagging enemies so the spy can track their location without maintaining line-of-sight, and use Local Assets to drop ammo or health, "clean up" bodies, cancel alarms before they sound, and even bribe enemies.

Tldr:
- An underrated game that deserves a bit more attention and praise than it has gotten
- Mostly fun, slightly jank
- Low price
- For a casual, stealth-focused experience, but not very immersive
- Completely unique and satisfyingly synergized co-op mechanics
- Tense, satisfying stealth scenarios that test your ability to work like a ghost, and cooperate with your teammate
- A slow ramp-up in difficulty and complexity each mission to let you sharpen your skills and familiarity with game mechanics, while still providing a decent challenge
- A retro, '90s setting, including mostly accurate technology and world politics during that era, with a focus on the growing cyber-warfare and espionage of the post-Cold War era
- It's like a mix of Splinter Cell and Hitman, but with a whole new co-op element attached that greatly enhances the game
- The game is built around the co-op aspect. Both players serve integral roles in the completion of the game
- It takes about 6 hours to beat the game, but you can play it a second time with a friend, swapping roles, and have another distinctly new and different 6 additional hours of fun with your pal
For a 6 gigabyte game, it's pretty damn good. There are bugs and jank to be expected from any game released by a small studio from that bygone era over a decade ago, but the gameplay is great fun for its time. The asymmetric co-op means you can play this game two whole times with a friend, swapping roles after the first playthrough, and still have a completely new and different experience the 2nd time.
The choices you make in the game (i.e how many people you kill, and how many mistakes you make that leave forensic evidence behind) have a small but noticeable effect on the mostly-linear storyline.
If you are looking purely for an immersive experience, this game won't satisfy. The character models, dialogue, lip-sync, and animations are all kinda meh. But the game overall is just fun if you don't care for immersion or a mind-blowing story. In my opinion, the story and voice acting are alright, and not over-dramatized to the point of sensationalism like most modern games nowadays do. It seems somewhat founded on realism and professionalism, in regards to how characters act.
The player character you play as is a technician - not a fully-trained covert operative, so she doesn't handle guns very well. She is kind of slow-moving, and very much NOT a bullet sponge. This forces the player to consider taking the stealth approach on each mission. And that's a good thing, because pulling off missions undetected is satisfying. On most missions, you are able to ghost through entire buildings without leaving so much as a shadow on the ground for people to find, and it's satisfying when the game tells you you've left zero footprint after the mission is complete. And of course, Player 2, the hacker, is integral in assisting you in accomplishing this. You literally cannot beat the game without the hacker. (There is a Solo singleplayer mode where you can take control of the hacker at any time, but I find playing with a friend is more fun and makes for a much more dynamic experience)
It's pretty great. :)
Kinda daydreaming about the devs coming back to this little hidden gem and giving it a modern facelift.
Glitchy asf but so much fun with someone else playing as Martin, but KEEP IN STEALTH. Kat cannot aim worth a damn and rapid firing is even harder, not to mention you'll need to be careful about the fact that a flannel and jeans will not stop a bullet. Other than these though great game :)
Nice puzzle game with asymetrical coop gameplay.
Just finished this with my girlfriend, playing coop the whole way.
A little janky, but the moment to moment gameplay is a blast.
As other people have said, it is pretty janky at times, but the asymmetrical coop was compelling enough for my brother and I to finish the game. I was on the hacker side of the campaign and that veers between stressful overload an non-action boredom, though it does at times make the player feel a sense of mastery when they fully understand a map's particular hacklables. The juggle of gathering info, opening pathways, directing the agent, or stopping enemies is an interesting task.
If you think that idea is intriguing, definitely play over voice chat with a friend.
Had a lot of fun with this with a friend. Story wasn't too engaging but the gameplay was fun. Solid 7.5/10
Please make more of this style of co-op.
Gameplay is fun, but frustrating dealing with game breaking glitches or loss of connection to server nearly every mission. Could have been bad luck on my part, but I expect others would run into similar problems. If my friend and I manage to complete the story without too many more problems then I'll change my review to positive.
EDIT: Game became mostly stable after one troublesome mission. I think this game is worth playing, despite technical issues.
