The building is presented in a two-dimensional cross-section on screen, showing the locations of guards, doors, switch panels, lights, security cameras, and other features, including the target objectives. The player can manipulate these to sneak around the building to complete missions. When in Crosslink mode, shown on the upper right, much of the building is shown in silhouette to highlight circuits and how devices are connected to those circuits (red lines). Gunpoint is normally shown to the player as in the bottom left of the above screenshot, showing a cross-section of the building. Initially missions are provided in a linear order but the game provides optional missions later. Each mission typically involves entering a building and hack into a computer, and then making way for the exit point of the level. Gunpoint is divided into a number of missions, between which the player, as Richard Conway, interacts with others through a PDA to accept missions, shop for new gear, and allocate resource points among various abilities Conway possesses. Throughout the game, Conway seeks to clear his name in the murder of a high-profile weapons manufacturer, and gradually uncovers a murder mystery in his search for the real killer. To do so, the player must avoid guards and bypass security features with the aid of a number of high-tech gadgets, such as the Crosslink tool which is used to rewire electrical circuits. The game is set in the near future and sees players assume the role of freelance spy Richard Conway, who is tasked with infiltrating buildings to fulfil assignments from various clients.
The game was released for Microsoft Windows on 3 June 2013, and soon followed with versions for OS X and Linux.
Gunpoint is a stealth-based puzzle-platform video game created by indie developer Tom Francis.
