In Gestalt you slip into the role of a master thief with the special ability to change your appearance. Thanks to this ability you are a sought-after individual for only the most important jobs. You get the mission to infiltrate the ministry of knowledge of the high magistrate to steal back a list of rebel sleeper agents.

The goal of the game is to gather information about your targets and shape-shift into them. To achieve this, the player can access a character creator at any time, can find clothing or uniforms and must read, listen and watch his surroundings for clues. You can be whoever you need to be.

But beware: If the player runs into the person he is imitating or he wrongfully changes his appearance there will be consequences.
