Game Overview

Operation: Wormhole is a third person action adventure co-op game with shooter and melee combat elements (some platforming elements as well). The game has a serious setting which involves the players infiltrating an enemy facility to achieve their objectives. Game objectives include killing targets, setting up charges, hacking systems and escaping the facility.

Game Concept

The game concept arises from games like Splinter Cell: Conviction Co-op, Hitman series and Uncharted. The game plans to blend some good features of all these games like not emphasing more on shooter elements and instead giving equal importance to combat and stealth elements as well. The game will have a co-op mode of gameplay wherein players work together and achieve their objectives. Stealth in the game is encouraged though the game does not necessitate it. However, strategy plays a key role in achieving game objectives.
