Added DiffLines:
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Both the US and the Russian presidents are fictional in this game that bear no resemblances to their real world counterparts from the time, likely to avoid the game from becoming dated.

As {{CIA}} agent Thorn, your work for the Secret Service will see you preventing assassinations and rooting out traitors, but this spy doesn't storm fortresses and [[Film/JamesBond sip martinis]]. Your work involves sifting evidence, joining the threads and getting the job done with surveillance intel, analysis and quick wits, not force of arms.

Added DiffLines:
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Since this is a [[TheNineties 90s]] FMV game, shown from the point of view of Thorn, we know nothing about whether Thorn is male or female, what they look like, or even anything about their background. Even attempting to access Thorn's file in the CIA's 201 files won't have an entry for them.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Thorn is issued a set of goggles that function as a heads up display, showing how much ammo is left and where enemies are located.

Added DiffLines:
* HoneyTrap: Ying Chungwang ends up seducing a scientist working on a prototype assassination weapon so her partner can impersonate the guy to gain access to it.
Added DiffLines:
* MasterOfDisguise: "Grendel" is able to impersonate one of the scientists working on the Pulsed Electric Gun almost perfectly. However, he doesn't do enough research, as he is caught using the elevator, something the scientist in question has an aversion to doing.
Added DiffLines:
* SpyFiction: Heavily on the Stale Beer end of the scale. Most of the gameplay involves analysing intelligence, such as photgraphs, financial records, emails, etc, as well as meeting with contacts. There are a couple of action sequences, but at least one of them can be avoided by interrogating a suspect for a password and cuffing him to his hotel bed so that the player can retrieve a component for a nuclear weapon without bloodshed.

Added DiffLines:
* CharacterAsHimself: Former CIA Director [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Colby William Colby]] and ex-KGB General [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin Oleg Kalugin]] were consultants on the game and appear to give Thorn advice throughout the game.
Added DiffLines:
* SequelHook: As TheStinger, the game proclaims that "[[Film/JamesBond Thorn will return]] in ''Spycraft II''". However, a sequel never materialised, likely due to poor sales.

While there are a few limited action scenes to break up the flow, the player spends most of his time analysing information using various software tools available to Thorn, such as matching faces and decrypting coded messages. Navigation of areas and tools is carried out in a format similar to the ''PhoenixWright'' games.
