Hello, people. I am going to show you this game. This game called Incognita, turn based
tactical espionage game, as you can see here.
This game is still alpha, as you can see here. The game is developed by Klei Interactive,
the makers of Shank, Don't Starve, Mark of the Ninja, you probably heard about one of
them.
Here, as you can probably see, we have decoding update. This means the amount of time estimated
before the next update hits. What the updates are doing? Well, the last two updates gave
our agents buyable items, items that they get from breaking the safes. The items are
important because they expand the capabilities of our agents and the last update I am going
to show you.
Here is our team. As you can see we have two characters, there is a second team, but it's
locked. We don't know when it will be unlocked or how. This is probably still in the development.
So, we have two agents. Each agent has his unique abilities that make him useful. One
thing about these agents is that the... snake team, the stealth team, the stealth team as
you can see is particulary weak against the Sankaku Corporation. Why? Because the Snakaku
Corporation employs bots and bots are immune to Knockout, to Shock Traps, to Sleeping darts
so that our Spy will be limited mostly to movement and drawing attention.
The other corporation is using humans so our team will be more useful and that's the thing
they added into this update. We can choose between two corporations so far and before
that we had only a generic corporation in a tall building with no ultimate objective.
So we basically climbed from one floor to another until we lost.
In this game they changed it completely, so that there is a ground floor where we start
and the top floor, the second floor. The bad thing in this change is that while you have
the final objective, like beating the corporation, you can't buy much or get a lot of money to
exchange into items because you, well, you very quickly get into the top floor, so that's
the disadvantage of the current update, but I think it will be worked out later. So let's
start.
I will start with because that's, it's easier if you play smartly. Maybe I'll finish this
and show you the second corporation, but I might as well fail.
Ah, one important thing before I start. You probably don't hear any music or sound. You
don't hear music, because I disabled it completely. I hate music in all games, there is no exception
and there is no sound, because the sound is for some reason particulary loud when I record,
so I want you to hear me, not to hear disturbiances coming from the game. So far the sounds are
beeping, some sounds environmental. Nothing to be worried about.
So let's focus on playing.
As you can see our agents move in turns and they also move in a different way. They need
to turn around if you want them to see. So the situational awareness is very important,
because you can blindly walk somewhere and get spotted by the camera, by the enemy. I
will be explaining the features as they go.
So, this Bot can hack devices from, not devices, computers, consoles. He can hijack them remotely
so he don't need to be up close like the Spy has, which is the advantage. I am going to
hijack the console. Why? Because hijacking the console, oh... Because hijacking the console
gives you Mainframe points. Each time you hijack the console you get points that you
can spend for opening up certain devices, so you take control of them.
But now I activated this console, I hijacked it, and the Sound Bug "heard" the sound of
hijacked console and this is bad for two reasons. Reason number one is that it adds, every time
you make noise near the Sound Bug, like moving, like shooting, it is increasing the Alarm
Tracker by one and if the Alarm Tracker rises to the maximum level the Enforcer Team will
come im, will to try to kill you.
The Enforcer Team is very strong. It's four guys who are armed with submachine guns and
without the Hitman you have very hard time beating such a team, so best way to do this
is to avoid them by entering the next floor before they arrive. Sometimes this can turn
into the fighting retreat at least it turned when I wanted to scour the floor from all
safes, because safes give you money and items and before the update you could get as many
money or items as possible before leaving to the next floor because each floor contained
a store where you could buy more items which helped you later.
OK, so I will going to deactivating the Sound Bug, because it can't be left and I am going
to check out where the guys is, where this bot is... oh. It's very, very close. This
is very, very bad. I will try to hide here. The good thing is the bots can't hear you,
they only notice the visuals and they can only be, ah, bot active here. Yes, another
bot on flank. Not only Sound Bug did... Not only the Sound Bug betrays your position also
the Camera can betray your position, so it's often to go smart and not go too fast.
I am going around the corner to peak out and see what's there. There is the Camera, so
I am relatively safe, because the Camera can't move, but there are also the path... the pathes.
These shows where the guards, the bots in this current game, are moving, so it's best
to avoid them. The white line shows the probable route they'll take.
OK. Let's try and let's see if they'll spot me.
Oh yeah, he spot me, but I was lucky because he couldn't hit me for maximum damage. I will
have to play smart. It's not easy, mind you. I will probably have... Important thing; why
I am not hitting him back? Because that'll do a very minor damage. As you can see, if
you flank him or even get behind him you'll do more damage and ammo is a limited supply
here, so you want to play smart in order to not get lost... to not lose all the ammo you
have. I am trying to get out of here so if he doesn't see me so we'll be able to ambush
him.
The one thing I don't like is that I have to manually check all the points sometimes
because, because as you can see, game is showing the direct path so it's going the shortest
route, so if you don't play carefully you can end up getting into the vision you don't
want to.
I picked up the Safe Pass Card, what this means? This means that I have the ability
to open the Special Doors, these Doors are important because they are often, often containing
a valuable items and I will be trying to get these items, because that'll always help.
Let's see of the bot will follow me...
OK. This is good. Why this is good? Because he can't move as fast as I can and maybe I
will be able to ambush him later or completely avoid him. The Bot has... my Bot, my Robot,
my Engineer have very useful... hm... is very useful in combat because not only can he knock
out enemies for longer when they are humanoids, but also can use sharp ammo and if he ambuses
the... drone, the Obake drone from behind he can one shot it. It's extremely important
because, because wasting ammo for suboptimal hits is bad play, because you don't always
have the ability to buy ammo.
OK. And you can see here is something that overlooks these door, if I had the Bot I could
probably use his ability called the "Wireless Emitter" to see the devices, electronical
devices around, but I can't. I will try to find another way.
What's my goal? My goal is to get to the Exit Point, my additional goal is to get to the
Exit Point while taking as many items as possible, because that might help me later.
As you can see the drone has lost the track of me. Oh no... I used the, I used the action.
I lost it and I need to wait another turn so I can do anything. Some, some actions cost
Action Points, like placing traps, like shooting, like knocking out, like using Adrenaline so
you don't want to lose your Action Point too early, because that might mean... well, it
can be very bad if you, you'll need that point.
Nothing here, of course, so I am going back. I will have to deal with the drone, so I will
get more points hacking, hacking points. OK... It looks like he moved away, so I will try
to one hit him... Oh no! He's turned with his front here, so I will run away, close
the door and, well, wait for him. I am wasting... This is bad, because I am wasting time and
I am wasting time, because I can't do much so far which is very unlucky of me.
I could risk it and get into the Camera, but then Camera could make it even worse, because
it'll alert other drones to my location. OK... He moved elsewhere, which is good, because
maybe we can plan an ambush, AGAIN. Not seeing anything here and I can use the obstacles.
Why the obstacles are important? Because if you use obstacles smartly you can get less
damage, you can avoid being hit, so I... Because if you are in front of the enemy you are taking
the least amount of damage possible.
OK, hijacking this so I can disable the Camera. This Camera and probably go here if I will
have another point.
Looks like the drone has lost... interest, which is good, because I need, really need,
to go forward, to move.
Oh, you can see this safe is flashing in red. That means this Firewall will... That this
item when hacked will install a program and the program is usually beneficial to the Corporation
so in this case it "Electrifies a region, knocking out intruders in the area", so I
don't want to move where that device will be placed and I need more points to disable
this device.
OK. I am moving here. I am very limited in my choices so far... I will probably to get
into this Camera anyway.
Of course, as you, as I told you the Camera spotted me and I will have even less time
to do what I wanted, let's do this and see what the door holds. Nothing too special because
this Mainframe shows me where the Cameras are placed or where there Computers are placed.
In this case this shows the Computer consoles. It might come in handy if I want to know where
to go to get more computer points, CPU points.
OK. Let's see what... how far the exit is. Oh, the exit is very far I will probably not
stand here, but I will wait one more turn in case there is something interesting behind
that door, because sometimes in very specific cases can rescue an Agent and an extra Agent
can be invaluable, so I am going to check out.
No Agent, but there is the Camera, so I am going to hijack the console again to see what's
behind. Hm... No... Agent. I have, I will still have to wait, because... No, I will
not wait, risky, too risky. I will get moving, because security program is now installed
and I want to get as close to the exit as possible, just in case.
I open the door and I will try to hijack this console to hijack this safe and maybe disable
the security program.
And each console has a variable amount of... ammuniton. I will get ammunition, because
this will be very useful against the bots when I give it to the other Agent. I can now
disable the security system. And in the next turn I will be able to disable the safe security.
Oh no, as I said the amount of computer programs you get per each hacking is random. Yes and
of course I have to get as low amount as possible and this might get very bad, very quickly
because the SWAT team will enter the floor if the Alarm rises high enough.
OK. Let's go, let's see what's behind.
Here are two safes, but I am able to hack only one so I will use the special ability
of the Agent to hack both, both safes. Steal... Let's see a Stim, a Magazine and a money.
Quite nice haul. Let's see how the other safe...
Oh, I was lucky, because... because one of the drone almost spotted me and I can't see
the drone. It's probably the only place... Ya. Wait, maybe I am spotted. I don't see.
Maybe I am not... Can't tell right now, because I don't see the spotter so I can't evaluate
if he see me, but probably not. OK. I am using the ability, the limited ability, to crack
the safe, because this might be very important that something might be inside that safe.
Money or item, you know.
I can take the money or not. If I take the money and the money is alarmed then I will
have the security team on my hands, so I will take it. Of course! I now have an alarm on
my hand so the SWAT team will be coming here any minute now.
I will remain here for a while the Bot will cover my retreat, just in case.
Oh, that bot spotted me. It saw me and I am now in a very, very bad situation. I have
to move, because I if don't he'll come in here anyway. OK. I took a point of damage,
but I might be a lucky to... Probably not, I will try to run away and hope that the Enforcer
team won't be as fast as I fear it will be.
I will try to use this, this to my advantage, this object, because the object will provide
cover so maybe it will deflect and not hit me. Cover delfection, yes! I managed to get
out and I will probably reach it in time to get into the next floor. That was very lucky
of me and that was bad to, well, risk everything in that way.
Here is the Enforcer, the Enforces are coming in, they have very good equipment, they have
submachineguns and, well, if you get, you encounter them head on, then without a heavy
hitter, like a Hitman, you probably won't win. I am getting out to the next floor.
Maybe we will... Maybe will... Maybe we will... do what we have to. We have to decrypt the
program and shut down the server to take down the Corporation, but first things first. First
I will drop ammo to another Agent.
And... let's see what's next.
The first order of the day is usually to locate console, because the console gives you, well,
gives you points needed to... Oh, this is another... So, this events are probably random,
because each time you plug the console you have a percentage of chances to activate some
events. In this event you can reveal your location so that the guy on the other side
will lower your Alarm Tracker, but there is also a risk that this is a hoax so that he
will add to your Tracker, so I will... I am at the very start, I don't really desperately
need the Alarm Tracker lowered so I will leave it alone.
Three points and I will see if there is a Camera behind. No... Oh, yes, there is the
Camera. I will disable it and... I would like to see what's here, but I... oh, I see, I
will use this opportunity to kill that bot, because am I behind... Oh... Oh... I was lucky.
Quite lucky, because apparently this Sound Track didn't warn the bot, oh, it did...?
Of course, my luck is thinner that I thought, the bot was warned and I am in trouble, of
course.
I have to count that he won't be able to reach me, but he'll have enough... Oh, very good
about the Bot is that he have a Personal Shield so each, so each one point will be regenerated
and I got hit by one point so that was the best I could hope for.
OK. "There is a security program open on this computer". I will activate this, because then
I won't need the Pass Card to open Security Doors. Of course there might be risk that
this is... Oh, OK. I don't get CPU point, but I do get, I do get, well, well, I do get
the access to the, to the, to the Secret Doors.
OK. Now I am going to use this Agent to draw... I am going to move here and use this Agent
to draw attention of the bot and now he'll shoot and I hope I'll kill him. I killed him,
good. That's one less enemy to worry about.
So, what will we do now? I am moving here and I will let my Bot stay here so far and
I need to know where I have to go, so I will be hacking like mad so I will get enough point
to decrypt the server and see where my objectives are. There are three servers on the map, I
have to hijack them in order in, to win the game, to win against the Corporation. I will
have very low time, but, well, I have to do this.
I probably start moving too. "Floor tiles are sensitive to sound", this is bad, but
I have an Agent who, who can move without triggering sound, who can sneak when moving
which is very good in this very particular situation.
I don't see anything, but there is probably a droid.
And that droid isn't going to move...
I hope there is another Agent hidden behind these doors, because I do need, I do need
another guy who will help me. Yes, there is. So I will be going to hack the console, disable
the security camera, get inside and free the guy. And our luck is that he's another stealth
so he can ignore the Sound Bugs that are placed here and here.
Oh, and one important thing. While the Spy is useless against the droid in combat as
you saw, because the droids can't be knocked he's very, very useful against the actual
fight with the Enforcers because he can knock them out with his ammunition.
We are halfway through the, through the security consol... through the security program of
the Corporation. We still havea ... not a lot of time, we have some time, we should
do this before the Corporation Enforcers arrive.
I am sending the other guy here, so he can spot what's here and we can, well, we the
closer we will be to the required devices the better.
I am betting that this is the, there is the droid, the bot, so I am moving my Engineer
to deal with it.
OK. We decrypted it and we see the order, but now we have to reach the, to reach the,
the devices themselves.
It still might be the camera so I will check it. I will try to use this and... I lost the
point.
Yes, the Camera has spotted me, I am going to deactivate it and see what's behind...
Nothing... Yes, I see the Mainframe. This is Mainframe Omega. Alpha, Omega, Beta so
I still have to get... to get somewhere else.
Another Mainframe, Beta, Beta... Alpha, Omega, Beta. So, Alpha is here. I will have to be,
to count on my luck a bit. Maybe there is something useful here. Personal Shield, yes,
this will be useful. And this will help me to get to the, to the Mainframe server, because
there will probably be the bot and I won't be able to take him down with my Spy.
I am moving slowly, because there is a Sound Bug and I don't have Mainframe points to waste
so far. The are two consoles I will be using later.
Here is probably the door to the last. We might just make it, but there is no guarantee
of success. So let's try to do this as safely as we can. I get a lot of point this time.
Good.
And that's it. Here is something, but that might be the Camera or the bot and... yes,
that's the bot, because we can't get lucky. OK. Let's make it go here and let's hope that
I will be able to sneak behind this and get into the, into the Mainframe.
This Mainframe... Alpha, Alpha, Beta... I am going here. OK. Here's the bot, I activate
the Personal Shield. I am checking out where the bot is. I will try to stay behind that,
shut down the server and get behind that in order to get additional cover. This guy wait
and this guy will also wait.
Oh, we can do something else. We don't have to wait. I will deactivate this. Use this...
Wow, a lot of points. Overload Grid shutting down and... Alpha, Omega, Beta. Omega, so
we go down.
Just one server to shut down, just one server. I will try to run here, behind that so I am
covered. This is safe. I am behind both covers, this is very good in case the other bot spots
me.
And... there are two bots now, so I need to play this carefully. I am hijacking this so
I can disable this and this. And now I will have to make a run for it, I think. The bot
is probably somewhere under the door. Oh no, this is very close under the door, but I can
go here and hope the bot won't alert the other bot. I will show myself to this bot and hide here so if
hits I will be behind cover so I don't get lost... I don't lose as much.
Let's try to go... Enforcer team is in place, so we have very... Oh... As you can see the
Agent has been knocked out here. He has been knocked out, because, well, the deflection
isn't always working.
And we have to reach the Mainframe in time before the Agents will... Before the Enforcer
team comes and kills us all and the Enforcer team is very close.
But we will probably make it, we will probably disable the Corporation. This is good.
Oh, my luck. Oh, my luck. As you can see I assumed that the exit to the Mainframe was
here and no, it wasn't so I need to get past these bots and somehow make it to the Mainframe.
I am not sure if the the, sure the Bot will survive and I will be even able to get into
the Mainframe. Ah, another bot, yes.
And I it turns out that I probably won't win. Well...
There is still hope, but it's very thin and goes thinner as the Enforcer team closes in,
but the Droid somehow survived thus far and I have to think positively.
Yes, this is close to the end now.
I will go behind and let's hope that I survive the hit from the droid. If I do I will be
able to shut the Mainframe and win. Looks like the droid panicked for some reason. I
have no idea why.
Oh, a one thing of importance. Some enemies are in red. What it means? It means that it's
the last location where you saw them so if you see the red icon it doesn't mean anything.
It will show where you last spotted an enemy, because I sometime use an Shock Traps and
the enemies still shown standing... Oh, I shut down...
And yes, we make it. And here you can see we have dispersed the Obake Drone Line, as
you see here, and we have the other security facility here, but that will be a story for
another time.
Thank you all for watching.
