Corpo/Ghost

Corpo/Ghost is a stealth game in which you infiltrate companies, access their databases and complete missions without being caught by employees. You take part in simulated corporate espionage planning, making decisions in virtual scenarios that may help plan real missions.

Corporate espionage

In the near future, corporate accountability is at an all-time low. A group of vigilantes runs a darknet company that sells corporate espionage services to other companies. Its discounts scale with the target company’s revenue, encouraging smaller businesses to pool resources against larger ones. Most small companies eventually use the service to stay competitive, though they do not publicly acknowledge it.

Most missions are straightforward and need no intrusion. More difficult jobs require extra planning, which is crowdsourced through software used by hand-picked participants around the world. You have been invited to take part: you make decisions in simulated scenarios, and those decisions are collected, analyzed and may contribute to planning a mission.

Infiltrate after midnight

Each mission takes place in the office or IT section of a building, a few hours after midnight. Only night-shift reliability engineers and night watchmen remain. The simulations model how light and sound travel through rooms, and how employees react to disturbances.

You distract employees, clear a path and avoid being caught while completing the objective. Anything you interact with may prompt them to investigate, and they can sometimes act unexpectedly. The missions are non-lethal; staying hidden is not worth killing anyone.

Distractions and tactics

Your device emits strong beams of light and targeted sound pulses to create distractions at a chosen location, provided you have a direct line of sight. Risky strategies can provoke more aggressive responses from enemies, while other distractions can make them question what they are sensing. Doors also have detailed interactions that provide tactical options.

Short missions and saves

The game has over 100 short missions, with frequent saves and rapid retries. Its Timeline feature lets you create and restore save points at any time, so you can test different approaches throughout a mission. You can arrange save points on a map or in a progress graph to find them more easily.
