I posted about this game a while ago, its probably been forgotten.
The game was developed using BYOND, but is now being redone in C# using the XNA framework. Because of that, I am hosting the game made with the BYOND system until my server expires (could be a few days). In the mean time I figured I'd at least post a small introduction to the game.
It's in very early stages, and while there is not much to do in the game, it can be pretty fun for a short time if you know what your doing.
Some screenshots:

Right click to interact with things using your right hand.
Goal: Pick up/buy gadgets from your vendor and assassinate enemies. Take their ID, bring it to your main office and say 'kill'.
The Keys:
A attempts to use antidotes, for quick relief.
S will slip into the shadows.
G will try to grab an enemy. You must face their back.
H toggles a help file.
If you want to learn more about game-play, go
here, or for a more simple version read on.
To play, extract this file
http://www.penkovskiy.com/spies_server_connect.zip , and run spies_server_connect.exe.
(The .exe will run byond.exe, this is safe)
If you're asked to login with a 'key' onto byond, you can use the user-name: Guest.

I know there isn't much in the game, but if you know about the systems that exist it can be very fun for a short time, here are some secrets.
- Always have a poison antidote in your pocket, poison snipers are very effective. Use the 'A' macro and it will cure you of all poison. Has 5 uses.
- There are ventilation systems to sneak in/out/through a base.
- There are rooftops to snipe from.
- Stand behind somebody and face their back, press 'G' and you will grab them. You have approx. 2-3 seconds to snap their neck by clicking the new 'grab' button that appears on one of your hand slots, otherwise they can escape by trying to move.
- You can pull/hide dead bodies by facing them and using the pull command. Bump into the body to release.
- Use 'S' and shadows to effectively slip into the shadows. Combine this with tranq. darts for long-range stunning.
- Short range stunning exist in screwdrivers and crowbars. Use to get away or in combination with snapping neck.
- Knifes disorient the target, greatly inhibiting their ability to walk.
- To get credit for a kill, and money, you must take the enemy's ID card. Bring it to your front desk of your agency, and 'say "kill" ' using the say command. You can also put this ID card in your ID slot, and gain access to their base and take on their name.
- Smokebombs are
very effective when used correctly. Click a turf to throw the smokebomb when in hand, or click the smokebomb in your hand slot to make the smoke follow you around. You will see through the smoke but enemies will not.
Here is an example of seeing through the smoke:
