(Don’t mind the ugliness of that screenshot though the basic mechanics are there, SpyParty is still a good two years away from release. Hit the jump to find out why it deserves to be on your radar. It’s the simplest setup imaginable, but I was positively blown away by the game’s depth and nuance after spending an hour with it at GDC. The sniper’s job is to identify the spy, and kill him.
The spy’s job is to walk around a party, completing missions without breaking cover. On the surface level, SpyParty is a two-player game about a sniper and a spy. Many multiplayer games ask the player to expend thousands of rounds of ammunition toward the destruction of the player’s enemies SpyParty gives you only one shot, and you’d better damn well make it count. SpyParty deals in subtlety, misdirection, and observation.
Most videogames deal in the epic, the explosive, and the impersonal. There has never been a videogame like SpyParty.
