Play as the stealth-agent on the field or as the virtually-infiltrated Hacker and work together to carry out espionage missions where nothing goes as expected!

Set in 2029 in a parallel world populated by cute, anthropomorphic animals, you are a mercenary who secretly accomplishes missions for corporations struggling for leadership. Hacktag pairs a physical Agent and a virtual Hacker as they secretly infiltrate corporations and “liberate” their data. Hired as mercenaries by competing corporations, the two players work together to carry out espionage missions via online or local co-op—or in solo mode, one player switches between the two roles.

In Hacktag, the Agent moves physically through a corporate building level while the Hacker moves alongside electronically via network nodes. While the Agent avoids physical guards (watch out for those pandas!), the Hacker avoids anti-virus software moving through the network, with both players seeking to hack computers to steal the data required for mission success. While some tasks can be accomplished by either player, many tasks require the cooperation of both—for instance, opening a locked door requires the Hacker to electronically unlock it while the Agent physically opens it.

Each new mission/level is procedurally generated. Split-screen and online modes are both available. While one of the player handles the stealth/infiltration part of the gameplay, the other team member hacks the environment real-time through a series of mini-games to help its fellow agent avoid security guards, unlock doors, trigger alarms and telephones, collect data from computers, interact with the cameras, doors, phones or coffee machines…

Hacktag will release for PC and Mac via Steam on February 14th.

“We’ve been working night and day to get Hacktag ready to bring co-op stealth to PC players who like to play together,” said Marine Lemaitre Freland, Co-Founder and CEO of Piece of Cake Studios. “Feedback from our community has been tremendous and we’ve added new modes and features to make the game even more fun while keeping its subversive nature front and center.”
