The story revolves around a conflict between agents and hackers, where teams of varying sizes embark on missions to either secure or hack a mission node. Players must navigate trust and deception, as records of past missions and votes reveal alliances, while skilled hackers attempt to infiltrate agent teams and create uncertainty. This dynamic creates a tense atmosphere of strategy and betrayal throughout the gameplay.
“Records of who went on what mission, as well as who voted for what teams, help provide a look at who you can trust and who you can't. The best hackers will seek to blend in with the agents while sowing doubt.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a cohesive narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is minimal, leaving players feeling disconnected from the motivations and backgrounds of the agents and hackers.”
“The missions themselves are repetitive and fail to build a compelling storyline, resulting in a lack of emotional investment.”
