Hello everyone

I have looked at similar threads about this, they didn't help much, because I think my needs are a bit specific. So I'm turning to your game expertise and experience to get some ideas. I've searched some but nothing convinces me, I probably have missed many. Currently Frozen Cortex/Synapse looks the best for me, but it sounds too complex for my needs.

I'm searching for a game with a certain amount of requirements, and also some preferences. The preferences are complex to grasp, so I'll just list the requirements:
* It must be multiplayer over internet, for 2 players.It doesn't matter if it's co-op or versus; and don't require Galaxy to play.
* It must be mainly mouse driven - no WASD games, although having to use some keys is not a problem. No keys or just 1-2 would be ideal.
* No shooters (shoot'em'up, FPS, etc.), or RTS games (strategy/tactic games with some RTS elements are ok), or fighting/racing/platform. The rest, strategy, puzzle, tactics, stealth,board/card, or others sound good to me even if they hate a real time/action element.
* Windows, english.
* A whole game/match should last about 1h or less.

So now if you have in mind a nice or fav game that fits that, please share, I'm on my 3rd day of searching and going slightly mad ;)

All I can think of is Dawn of War 2 coop. Each level should be under an hour.

If time weren't a constraint, then Don't Starve would be a perfect fit.
Chaos Reborn.

Enjoy.

Key Features:

Single Player & Asymmetrical co-op: Play as the spy while a friend guides you through the missions or take on the role of the hacker to crack infrastructure and defeat security systems.

A return to hard-core stealth games where the enemies are lethal and combat is unforgiving.

A deep hacking system built around core stealth game mechanics, rife with options to manipulate the game world and mess with your enemies.

Use social engineering in cooperative dialogue sequences to bypass security checkpoints and gain entry to restricted areas.

Your actions won't go unnoticed - the story will respond to how much evidence you leave in each mission and how many dead bodies you leave in your wake.
Thanks for the suggestions for now. I forgot to add:
* No Steam!

I'd prefer something in Gog.com, but I'm open to alternatives. I found Scorched3D which could fit better than Frozen Synapse/Cortex, and Worms WMD in the same vein that is here in Gog. There's a myriad of multiplayer games but not much convinces me for now.

Pi72: Worms WMD
you'd honestly be better off (gameplay wise) with Worms Armageddon. WMD is a pale shadow by comparison. Im not sure how well Armageddon will fit your other criteria / perferences though
