Overview and Gameplay
Two rival agents race through a guarded embassy searching for key items needed to reach an escape plane while setting traps and disrupting each other’s progress in real time split-screen play. Each match focuses on locating essential objects hidden in furniture and rooms, collecting them, and reaching the exit before time runs out while watching the opponent’s actions simultaneously.
The design emphasizes direct competition, where both spies explore the same building layout, trigger hidden traps, and attempt to outmaneuver each other under a strict time limit. Matches are structured around selectable difficulty levels that alter map complexity and time constraints.
