A first person social deduction game, combining real time action and communication, 3 to 8 players. While most players will do their best to complete objectives and ensure victory, a small portion of dissidents will try to stop them at all costs, without getting caught.
Players consistently praise the engaging gameplay loop, which keeps them on their toes. Unlike some social deduction games where players can remain stationary for long periods, this title requires players to actively navigate the map and collaborate on various missions. The well-designed missions encourage dynamic movement and interactions, creating a more immersive and engaging experience.
One standout aspect is the complexity of the tasks players must complete. For example, the "Pressure" task involves one player dictating the exact direction another player must look to complete the objective. These tasks involve more intricate steps that require teamwork and strategic thinking, giving the game a unique twist compared to other titles in the genre.
The sabotage mechanics are a fantastic addition, allowing the "Dissidents" (the game's version of imposters) to creatively disrupt the missions. Dissidents can hide or manipulate crucial items needed to complete tasks, adding an extra layer of strategy as they must carefully consider how to best undermine the "Employees" (the cooperative players).
The combination of real-time action, communication, and the ever-present threat of Dissidents creates a constant tension. For example, players may find themselves suddenly chasing down a Dissident who has stolen a critical item, leading to a frantic pursuit. This tension results in highly engaging and unpredictable moments, as alliances shift, accusations fly, and chaos erupts in the pursuit of victory.
The ability for all players to pick up and use weapons, such as guns, knives, and screwdrivers, is a standout feature. This introduces an additional strategic element, as players must decide whether to keep weapons for self-defense or deny them to their opponents. The variety of weapons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, further enhances the depth of the gameplay.
