Black Hat Cooperative

Black Hat Cooperative is a stealth game for two players who work together to evade robot agents trying to remove them from the system. You explore complex levels, gather information and piece together clues from the world and map to get through each level alive.

Play together

The game supports couch co-op and local multiplayer on one computer, but not online play. One player chooses Hammer, sneaking past agents and collecting treasure, keys and passwords. The other chooses Spice, who sees the level from above and guides Hammer to treasure and safety.

Work as a team

Spice can use hacking terminals to unlock special doors and freeze or blind enemies. To enable these abilities, Hammer must collect in-world “bits” and scan enemies, so the players need to coordinate their actions.

Levels and enemies

The game has 12 challenging levels filled with robot agents, including grunts, captains, kings and hunters that can sniff out Hammer’s trail and give chase. Laser traps and sound-detecting alarms add environmental dangers.

Play setup

Black Hat Cooperative can be played with an Oculus Rift, an HTC Vive or dual monitors. In VR, Hammer uses a gamepad or Vive controllers, while the other player uses the computer display, mouse and keyboard.
