About Gunpoint
Gunpoint is a stealth‑puzzle title where you play a freelance spy tasked with infiltrating high‑security sites. The core mechanic lets you rewire the level’s security devices with a mouse‑driven Crosslink, creating custom traps and shortcuts.
The game offers a noir‑styled narrative across twenty missions, with optional story dialogue and a level editor for player‑made challenges. You can tailor your approach—quiet, violent, or non‑lethal—and even lie to clients for different outcomes.
01 / THE GUIDE
Crosslink Gadget
The Crosslink visualises every security element in a level, displaying their current wiring. By clicking and dragging, you can reconnect devices, such as linking a light switch to a trapdoor, to manipulate guard movement. Using the Crosslink creatively lets you set up chain reactions, like causing a guard to trigger a trap that eliminates another, without direct confrontation.
- Experiment with linking unrelated devices to discover unexpected shortcuts.
- Observe guard patrol routes before rewiring to maximize trap effectiveness.

Level Editor
Gunpoint includes a built‑in level editor that lets players design their own puzzles using the same wiring mechanics. You can build puzzles around the game’s wiring mechanics. Player‑made levels can extend replay value beyond the twenty official missions.
- Start with simple layouts to test wiring logic before adding complexity.
- Use the editor to practice specific guard patterns you find difficult in the main game.

Story Choices
Throughout the noir‑inspired campaign you decide what information to give clients, including the option to lie. These choices shape what you tell your clients, including lying to them. All narrative segments are skippable, allowing players to focus on puzzle solving if they prefer.
- Try different client responses on a second playthrough to see varied dialogue.
- Skipping story sections can speed up puzzle practice sessions.

Playstyle Options
The game does not force a single approach; you may aim for quick, quiet, non‑violent, or no‑witness runs, or mix elements. No mandatory boss fights exist, and the hardest puzzles are optional. This flexibility lets you experiment with the Crosslink in ways that suit your preferred difficulty and moral stance.
- Combine silent movement with clever wiring for a fully non‑violent run.
- Attempt optional hard puzzles after mastering basic rewiring for a challenge boost.

Remote Play Support
Gunpoint supports Remote Play on phone, tablet, and the Steam Remote Play Together feature, allowing the game to be streamed to other devices. This enables flexible play locations without altering core mechanics. Family Sharing is also listed, meaning multiple accounts can access the game under a shared library.
- Use Remote Play on a tablet for quick puzzle sessions away from a PC.
- Family Sharing lets a household member try the game without a separate purchase.
