— Videogame Heroines ABC Round 2 —

Jean is the superspy from “Keep Your Heart Close”.

Designed as a modern take on James Bond in a dystopian possible near-future, Jean was a skilled engineer working for the “Ministry of Surveillance” and exploring possible cases of corruption, corporate espionage and other state threats (or so they were called).

Featuring gameplay based around reconnaissance, planning and execution, the game took hints from PC tactical shooters and applied them to a third person stealth game focused on a single avatar.
The missions were open ended and contained several objectives to complete, often using varied uses of Jean’s technical skills and her trusty multi-tool. Hacking, redirecting elevators, rewiring alarms, fire sprinklers lights and computer access were some of the minigames presented as puzzles which the player could complete in several attempts, as (s)he watched around for the patrols.

Unfortunately, the game came out on Saturn in 2000, in the twilight years of the console as a last desperate effort, just as another, well known spy game came out on N64, ironically a truer spiritual successor to James Bond’s latest prowesses. The game faded to obscurity despite its homages to different spy series and films (not least of all the original “Impossible Mission” series and its famous elevator scenes).
