In this multiplayer spy game, you play as an agent competing with other spies for a valuable objective. Hide your identity by using a holographic watch to disguise yourself as a guest, staff member, or security guard.
Move through crowded locations, gather information by hacking electronics, and gain access to restricted areas on the way to the vault. Watch how people behave to identify rival spies hiding among the NPCs, while trying not to expose yourself.
Choose from agents with different weapons and skills, and build a loadout of spy gadgets. In each match, use stealth, combat, and alternate routes to reach the objective and make your escape before your rivals do.
Players often praise the unusual mix of disguise, social stealth, and shooter combat, describing matches as unpredictable and especially enjoyable with friends. Reviewers also appreciate the game’s distinctive style and creative spy premise. A recurring caveat is the small or inconsistent online population, which they say can make public matchmaking difficult; several also criticize the end of ongoing development, and some mention balance, repetition, or price concerns.
