Approximate length 5-10 hours. You could watch a full playthrough in a day to see the story and Vibes, then spend a few hours reading all the unlockable lore (character dialogues, backstories, in-universe documents) on the wiki, and you're golden! Although I personally recommend playing it, it's a fantastic game :D
Where to find it? Steam Let's Play (first 10 episodes for main campaign) Wiki: Lore and Characters (a very helpful resource for anything fannish as fully unlocking all the lore and character backstories requires many playthroughs!)
What is it, in summary? Invisible Inc. is the tense infiltration and escape action sequence from every heist and spy movie, crystallised into an enthralling team tactics stealth roguelite where your small team of ragtag misfits breaks into corporate facilities and escapes, over and over again.
What do you love about it?
It's a fantastically designed game that somehow seamlessly combines stealthy, actiony, and puzzle vibes. The learning curve is steep, but much like similar punishing roguelikes like Darkest Dungeon, it's perfectly possible to play the game on a very casual difficulty and still enjoy it. It is amazing at producing experiences of tense escapes that feel down to the wire, and like every action matters, and you only just got out by the skin of your teeth through smart decision-making and tight teamwork.
The characters are great. From the old lady spymaster who runs the show to her wisecracking hacker friend to her artificial intelligence Incognita to every one of her agents, each of them with their own backstory and dialogues with other characters.
The emergent storytelling in these missions is so damn good, guys. There's nothing quite like the Drama of having to abandon an agent to be captured because the show must go on, and then rescuing them again in a later mission.... or saving them from being shot just in the nick of time! If you're fannish about games like Darkest Dungeon, you have a sense of what I mean here.
And did I mention the art direction is fantastic?

TARGETED ADVERTISEMENT Hey you. Yes, you - the people who liked and/or requested wireplay and Eroticism of the Machine and Cyborg/Mechanic nonsense... Look here. Look! All these characters are cyborgs... all of them have machine parts. Some more than others. Maybe give this a look? ;)
TARGETED ADVERTISEMENT #2 Do you enjoy STORIES where ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is important and central to the plot and setting? Are you the kind of person who will extrapolate ESSAYS worth of backstory and worldbuilding for a side character with three (3) lines? Do you enjoy canon that sets the stage for infinite whump? This fandom may be for you!
