Quick Look: Invisible, Inc.

Awesome, been waiting for this!

It's no Blackbay Asylum but Inc. still has some styyyyyyyyyyyyyyle.

Been waiting for this!.

The Youtube version of this video appears to be broken. I'm only seeing the first 17 minutes there.

So, out of curiosity, is the spy named Shalem 11 supposed to be a Golgo 13 reference? Seems like it is...then again, I'm just a G13 fan.

Not a fan of the security level increasing every turn though. Makes sense why they did it, just not liking the idea of it increasing regardless of how I'm doing.

Pretty sure it is a reference considering his standard kit comes with a body armor piercing rifle.

Also the campaign parameters are configurable and you can turn off the increasing security as a gameplay modifier.

Will Vinny lock himself in a closet? Let's find out!

Loving playing this at the mo, stealth XCOM + FTL re-playability. Can become quite the elegant dance, dodging, pinning, thieving, zapping.

I loved this game when it first came out in Early Access, you had hitpoints you could openly explore the levels, getting hit sucked but it didn't kill you instantly forcing your partner to come and pick you up if they could, they really went too strict and less fun on the stealth stuff, it's not even the same game anymore.

youtube video cuts off at 17:32

This game is hard! That or I suck....

this game seems cool

I'm only about halfway through but it looks like Vinny isn't doing one small thing that helps cover your tracks: close doors after you go through them, especially if you knocked out a guard in a previous room.

Disclaimer: I still suck at this game.

Edit: Goddammit, I paused the video, made the comment and literally ONE SECOND after restarting, he closed the door behind him pointing out how that helps. I'm an idiot.

INCREDIBLE opening sequence. Wow.

@falling_fast: The rest of the video is invisible.

This game is awesome. Played it while it was in early access and now that it is officially released, I am very pleased with the final outcome of the product. Take a look at this if you enjoyed this video.

Everyone has a Cortana? More like everyone has a SHODAN

@blupotato: Oh you can turn it off? Good to hear. I had heard you can change a lot about the mission settings but I thought it was a big part of the mission design or something. May have to pick it up afetr all. Thanks

Holy crap, was that a Vandals reference...and a Hackers reference?! hahah I feel like a kid again, thanks @alex.

This sort of feels like turn based Transistor to me

This seems like a really good game.

I'd be more into this if it was less turn based, there's counters on everything, taser in 3 turns, alarm in 4 turns, guard wakes up in 2 turns, character can move 5 spaces, peeking uses an action point, perma death, gaaaaah. Also the perspective of everything looks very confusing, that room with the bunk beds was a visual mess.
But i can see that if you're into the genre this could be a cool game.

Also, this game has a wonderful Giantbomb easteregg.

Holy crap that is amazing. Top marks for Klei. For some context is he a unit or is this some sort of scan of an NPC?

@orange_pork: Great tribute from Klei

I've brought this up in several places and haven't managed to get many people to acknowledge it, but...I don't know that it's actually in the game. I think it might be a user mod. The only source of that screenshot is a user that registered and posted it here on GB without comment. I can't find a single other piece of evidence to suggest it's a real thing.

That screen is typically where you would see Monster, an NPC that you can buy/sell items with. If there are some conditions that make Ryan show up, they're either extremely random and rare (which is admittedly a possibility) or require you to do something that isn't obvious. I've played a lot of this game and have never seen it.

EDIT: Disregard. Apparently it is in the game, but it is very rare - there's only a 1/500 chance of you seeing it. Source: https://vox.vg/blog/2015/05/18/invisible-inc-a-hacker-game-that-is-actually-hackable/

I agree with Alex's comment at the very start of this video. Photo "realism" needs to die.

I would totally stay in William Gibson Town.

Dude, this looks freaking cool!

I just finished this last night and loved it. The new game plus mode is pretty fun so far but hard as fuck on higher difficulties.

It took me awhile to realize that Shalem 11 is a Golgo 13 reference. Game looks pretty rad.

What a cool game.

@chaser324: Cool that it's pretty much confirmed.

Damn, this looks slick. I will definitely pick it up.

Fuckin' A, Klei has best in class animation by faaaar. This looks great.

I think it looks cool but as much as I hate to be "that guy" I'm gonna wait for a substantial Steam sale before getting it. It doesn't make any sense but I don't feel like these randomized highly replayable games are worth $20 to me as opposed to linear, heavy story based one-and-done titles. Can't explain it but I guess I just value story more.

Fucking awesome looking.

Wait, who let GB East Quick Look a legitimately good game? That's not how it works! You're supposed to be Quick Looking [name of Steam game that no one in their right mind has played or even heard of].

And then Vinny says "Making video games is hard."

NOW WHO WILL TELL ME WHETHER MAKING VIDEO GAMES IS EASY OR HARD?

Wow you can disable the ever rising guard alert? That seems like it is ripping off a core part of the game, but then again that is one of the mechanic that I am not that into. So this is good for me I guess.

The 72 hours limit is a real hard cap?

I like how in XCOM it is brutal, but as long as you give it enough time and do things carefully you can get to the point where your team snowball everything...until you anger the RNG gods.

I wonder if it lets you do this in this.

Note you can up other stuff to offset the rising level, so like make it where when you are spotted the level rises/rises more, etc. So if you want slow methodical play to be rewarded but mistakes to be punished harder you can. But yeah if you JUST turn off rising level without doing other stuff to offset it the game probably becomes easy.

This looks like the perfect iPad game.

As someone who has already played this game once to completion, I think it's good; not great.

I really want to play this, but I wish it had controller support. It sucks, given the recent trend of devs giving their PC games parity with consoles, that the devs of this game don't really believe in that. So this is coming to consoles, but controller support won't be coming to the PC version (same with local multiplayer for Don't Starve, another one of their games)

sadface

Looks pretty interesting. Will check it out when I'm done Witchin'. Not enough time these days.

This game is really stylistic and interesting, but word of warning: It is pretty damn hard.

This is a really cool game. Fun to see how different Vinny plays, I always keep my agents close to each other so I can pin or distract enemies.

Try this game guys. It's pretty good !

This looks great! I wasn't that into it when I saw Early Access footage, but seeing the premise and knowing it's not just 2 characters has me pretty excited.
