00:06I'm Lee Harris, creator of Metricide, and I'm Rowan Harris, co-creator of Metricide.
00:11This is our upcoming top-down contract-killing stealth shooter in a nice cyberpunk setting here, as you can see.
00:18It'll be out in about a month or so for PC and Mac.
00:22You play as TJ Trench, who's our eponymous hero here, and the objective is for you to try and get
00:29enough money to get out of the city, one zone at a time.
00:32We're in downtown here, which is our level one.
00:36So the first thing TJ is going to need to do is pick up a contract from the contact over
00:40there.
00:41And the contracts that are available have different parameters, which are defined by the little logos next to it.
00:48So here we can see this one.
00:49Paranoid and armed.
00:51Yep, and a smoker.
00:53Oh, very important.
00:54Actually, it is.
00:54They will stop and pull out cigarettes.
00:56That could be used to your advantage.
00:57So there you go, kids.
00:58If you've got a contract killer after you, don't take up smoking.
01:01Don't take up smoking.
01:02I think everyone in this game smokes, though, even TJ.
01:05No, not everyone.
01:06They're close.
01:06Oh, well, most people.
01:08Top left-hand corner of the screen, we've got a little tracker.
01:11You can understand why people in this world might be a little bit paranoid when they've got homing beacons set
01:15to them.
01:17Oh, that would have been a perfect opportunity.
01:19I could have just shot him from the alleyway.
01:20You were too busy talking.
01:22I was.
01:22I'm always too busy talking.
01:25So, what we need to do is try and not shoot this guy out in public.
01:29We want to avoid people like that.
01:31Or the security camera.
01:32Or the security camera sweeping back and forth.
01:34Or the cop drones flying overhead.
01:37Actually, here's a potentially good way to do it, if I can time this right.
01:40Oh, there's someone sitting there on the...
01:42No, he's not facing.
01:43He's not facing.
01:43Oh, whoops.
01:46Oh, perfect.
01:47Oh, perfect.
01:50No!
01:51Oh, got it.
01:52Got it.
01:52And move the body real quick and hope nobody...
01:55Don't turn around.
01:56Don't turn around.
01:56And the corpse is hidden, which means you get an incognito bonus for perfect kill,
02:01which also means the cops are not looking for you,
02:02which they might be if, say, someone had seen you hauling the corpse around
02:05and run off and caught them.
02:07I'm going to buy a tool for my next kill.
02:10This is a lure.
02:11A little, like, sort of Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi style hologram
02:15that will distract people and draw them into alleyways and such.
02:20You got it?
02:20Yeah.
02:22Yeah, sweet.
02:24Okay, next kill.
02:25So, follow the radar.
02:27It's a very fast-paced arcadey game.
02:29What it is, is a series of kills that are mixed up by the different variants,
02:33different tools and weapons and things like that.
02:35It's designed to get exponentially harder.
02:37The way we do this is that every time a body is found
02:40and you mess up and someone sees you and that sort of stuff,
02:43there's a chance that there will be more cops in the area.
02:45But there's no way to reduce the number of cops,
02:48only to lose the ones that are currently following you.
02:51So, this is annoying.
02:53He parked himself right in front of a security camera.
02:56Would have been an ideal spot for me to use that lure, really.
02:58Although he's going to come.
02:59Ah, there's someone behind him.
03:01That's fine.
03:04And someone's about to walk across.
03:05Maybe not ideal, but...
03:14Is that your target?
03:15Yeah, that's my target.
03:19Bullseye.
03:21Ah, someone's seen the body.
03:23Run, run, run.
03:23Alright, I'm out of here.
03:24Anton Crone, reported finding a body.
03:26Alright, so...
03:27Damn you, Anton Crone.
03:28There's now going to be a crime scene there.
03:29The cleaning droid will turn up to deal with the corpse
03:31and the cops will turn up to try and scan people and figure out who did it.
03:34And fire indiscriminately if they're in the mood.
03:37They're not very friendly, these cops.
03:39Alright, let's pick another mission.
03:40What do we got here?
03:41Just someone armed will take it.
03:43Let's get another weapon.
03:45So, as you progress your game, more of these unlock.
03:46So, at this point, we've only got a handful of them open, but...
03:49Shotgun.
03:50Turn up.
03:51Shotgun works for me.
03:53Lloyd Trimble.
03:55I feel like he's missing an L.
03:57Don't you feel like Lloyd is missing an L?
03:59That's possible, but it's just a stylistic cyberpunk way of spelling Lloyd.
04:03Actually, all the names in the game were generated from the 2013 US Census.
04:08We've randomized them all, so the first and last names are just a complete mismatch.
04:13Well, mishmash, I should say.
04:16This will work.
04:19Hi, Lloyd.
04:21And into the water with you.
04:24Quite happy with that one as well.
04:28So, let's get one more kill and then wrap it up here.
04:32Gotta try and find Claire Marcus.
04:36Where are you, Claire?
04:37It's a world of misspellings and pain.
04:40Well, hey, now, you...
04:40And, oh, the cops are gonna scan you, which...
04:42That's not good.
04:45Okay, if they scan you, they take away your illegal weapons.
04:48Which means you're about to lose your expensive shotgun.
04:50Ah, there we go.
04:52Weapon removed.
04:53And you got fined.
04:53They got rid of all the money.
04:55Well, thanks.
04:56I approve.
04:57I appreciate that.
04:58I'll just kill Claire.
05:00Right in front of the security camera.
05:02Uh, okay, yeah, I messed that up, too.
05:04Okay, the cops are shooting at me.
05:06And if we get...
05:06No, oh!
05:07Ah!
05:08Yeah, they're a bit difficult.
05:11Oh, well, anyway, thank you for taking the time to take a look at the first video walkthrough
05:15for Metricide.
05:16We'll be out on Steam shortly.
05:18Thanks for watching.
