- What it is: an unusual multiplayer FPP stealth game with a humorous take on espionage
Among the gems of Steam, a strictly multiplayer game couldn't be missing. Deceive Inc. is exactly this type of a game; a stealth FPP spy game that requires skillful deception of others. The character we choose (each has unique abilities and weapons) can use a number of Bond-worthy gadgets to try and be the first person to fulfil the agency's orders. At the same time, all moves are allowed – cunning and ingenuity have no limits.
While playing, it's worth trying to eliminate other agents to gain some respite for a while, but you have to be careful not to let yourself be exposed. This task is facilitated by a holowatch that allows you to disguise as NPCs and blend in with the crowd. If this gadget proves insufficient for proper camouflage, there's also a holomimic that allows you to shapeshift into elements of the environment. In case of being fired at, we can use a bulletproof umbrella and return fire. On top of all this, there are different game modes – you can play alone or in a team, depending on your preferences.
