    The trappings of high society barely conceal the violence yet to come, and the air crackles with anticipation. [Issue#384, p.108]

    Deceive Inc. delivers fun matches in a scenario of spies against spies in an online multiplayer environment with some quality. The lack of content is worrisome and is the biggest downside here, forcing the player to have some hope for more in the future.

    I was a tester for the game so there may be some bias, but this is a really cool idea for a game.

    I was a tester for the game so there may be some bias, but this is a really cool idea for a game.

    I would not call it a new idea per se, because it borrows ideas from the following (Overwatch, Assassins Creed: Black Flag multiplayer, Among Us, etc.) but there is not many espionage games out there.

    That aspect alone gives Deceive Inc. a unique place in the gaming landscape.

    Additionally, I do not think it was the best decision to charge for it, because I do not know if the install base will be that high. I fully expect it to become a Free to Play title in the near future.
