The game's premise is rather silly - you're a delivery guy who delivered a hatbox, but someone stole it, so you mount an entire operation to get it back, which involves developing an entire underground base with agents, research, brainwashing captured agents, a black market for items, and more. What's both fun - and a bit annoying - is that for each mission you pick an agent, and they have all kinds of quirks and problems that they (sometimes) eventually lose as you level them up. But, if they die - well, that's it! Agent gone! Also, you'll often get wounded and you need to pay to heal them, and it takes time. So, I've had a few "favorite" agents that died on the job and then I'm stuck using the wonkier ones, which is harder on harder missions because of their quirks. The gameplay itself is quite chaotic - which I deal poorly with since I'll panic - but I think more playthroughs will have me learning the quirkiness of the controls and mechanics and thus doing better? I've only played about 2 1/2 hours so far, so I think there's plenty to get through. Though, I have finished found two special hats.. as a sign of progress.
