The fictional city of Pantheon gives the team a mission beyond simply reaching the next doorway.
Getting into a facility is only half a mission in CODE EXIT. Its Hermes operatives must explore, obtain data, and make it back to their base while a pursuer moves through the same darkened environment. CODE EXIT’s official mission and setting description.
The game takes place in Pantheon, a fictional city whose integrated artificial intelligence, Minerva, controls its systems. Sealed routes, terminals, surveillance, and hostile machines turn the infrastructure into obstacles for the team.
Up to four people can play together, with solo play also supported. Activating terminals and opening routes require decisions about where to send each operative. Dividing the group can advance separate objectives; remaining together concentrates its resources and attention.
Scavenged tools help the team navigate the security network, while noise and limited visibility complicate movement. A mission can shift from exploration to an urgent escape if concealment fails. The objective continues to include the information the team came to collect: reaching safety and completing the assignment are connected parts of the same trip.
