About Black Hat Cooperative
“Listen carefully to my directions. Look to your right. There are two agents behind that door and they will reach you in 5 seconds. They just heard you. RUN!”
Black Hat Cooperative is an award-winning stealth game that pits you and an ally against robot agents that seek to remove you from the system. Explore complex levels filled with hidden dangers and work together to survive.
Play with your friends on one computer. Choose Hammer and sneak past agents, collecting treasure, keys, and passwords along the way. Or choose Spice to get the bird’s eye view and guide your partner to treasure and safety. Information in the world and on the map must be pieced together to beat the levels. At this point there’s no support for online play.
Spice can use a hacking terminal to unlock special doors and freeze or blind enemies. But these superpowers require teamwork. Hammer must collect in-world “bits” and scan enemies to enable hacking.
Each level is crawling with robot agents including the grunt, captain, king, or the hunter, who can sniff out your trail and chase you down. Environment challenges like laser traps and sound-detecting alarms keep you on your toes.
Black Hat Cooperative can be played with the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or with dual monitors. Hammer is in VR and plays with a gamepad or Vive controllers, while the other player uses the computer's display, mouse, and keyboard.

Black Hat Cooperative started as a weekend game jam project during the 2014 Global Game Jam. Since then, we successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign and created a company, Team Future, to publish the game. Many thanks to our Kickstarter supporters, thousands of people came to our demos, and our friends who gave their time and encouragement. We hope you enjoy the game!

II
One of the few games that takes advantage of the a VR headset and a flat screen. It requires two players to communicate and work together to overcome stealth puzzles. Play it with someone who knows you very well.
A bit basic looking, but an interesting concept to have a bit of coop fun with friends
For $10 this is a good deal for the price: quite fun and a great use of VR. Of course it could be longer and the low-res graphics are reminiscent of Minecraft (which might suit your tastes), two of us got several hours of entertainment out of this. Also it makes a fun party game for friends who are new to VR since the controls don't take long to learn, and it's fun to watch how other teams approached the various problems. A great idea. I hope like to see more games like this. What more do you want for ten bucks?
