Gameplay
Stealth Inc 2 is a puzzle platform game. The game revolves around goggles-wearing clones, in which the player takes control of multiple clones. Players explore a cloning facility in which they were born, obtaining equipment to unlock new areas as they go. The game makes use of the Wii U GamePad in multiple ways, including managing the skill and tools to keep the main player hidden.

The game revolves around working with different equipment for solving puzzles, unlike in the first game which only had goggles.

A clone escapes the test facility and finds the reason behind the existence of the clones.
