Monaco is an indie co-op stealth game that has been in development for a couple of years, got some high IGF praise, and is finally coming out of the shadows for the public's entertainment. The composer who provided music for fl0w and Journey also pitched in for this game. The game will be available for PC (Steam and non-Steam flavors), Mac, and XBLA. In addition to the RPS tag for the game, here are a few videos to whet your appetite:
100% speedrun of a level from closed beta, very recent [spoiler, of course]
Teaser trailer announcing XBLA availability, two months ago
Gamespot coverage, about half a year ago
Narrated walkthrough by devs, almost a year ago

WHEN THE HELL IS THIS COMING OUT!?!?!
That's me for the past two years or so.
I think there might have been a 4 pack in the works in the general indie thread too.
Got the IGF-prototype running on a LAN with some friends, wacky fun times were had. The game is quite polished already though I would recommend playing with a 360 controller.
I signed up for one of the pack. I <3 indie games.
Thanks for setting this up. Shoptroll had contacted me about one of my spare copies, so I tentatively put him down for one.
When is the game going to be released?
Also, it seems odd that they won't allow beta-access for pre-orders. It looks great, but I want to play now, not in two months...
tagging, it sound interesting.
Nifty wallpaper.
Source and/or higher res?
I dropped it into Google and it couldn't find anything besides thumbnail sized versions of it. Regardless, all their promo art is really appealing.
Finally got the IGF build to run properly with someone else around. Playing through all but the final level with a friend last night left me way more excited for this game. The sheer number of times we managed to organically produce a silly sneakaround moment really sold me on this being an important entry into the shrinking category of single-screen coop games.
At this point I'm choosing to go on blackout as far as videos and screens go of anything newer, but what would you say are the biggest changes between IGF and current beta?
So there's single player, and it's solid? I was under the impression it was MP only, which was making me sad, because I don't do MP.
I'm torn. I really want to play this- but will never get to do so MP. I feel like I'd be missing quite a bit of the experience just SP my way through it.
So I'm sitting here going "why is Monaco in my Steam list", and then realized I already popped on the pre-order when the site offer went up.
So excited.

LAN over IP, it's janky but it'll do the trick.
Okay, I'll round out your 4-pack.
