A fun game to play with friends! You can play duos and trios.
You have a variety of characters (Red is mommy), weapons, abilities and load-outs to play with. You can pick disguises and act as an NPC while doing objectives and picking items. To win, you either have to kill the other teams, or get the briefcase to extraction!
The game takes very little time to learn, after a few matches you get the hang of it!

Just an absolute fucking mess on all accounts. In my brief experience with the game, I've found it to be an absolutely user-hostile experience with no intention of actually gathering a playerbase - as is evident by the playcount. The menu is an overdesigned disaster, the shooting is incredibly clunky, and the stealth mechanics are dubious at best. The tutorial only explains the bare essentials, and trial-by-fire is the only other way to find out anything. All I found out is that the game is not fun, not designed to be fun, and likely never will be fun.
EDIT: in my rage, i forgot to add - microtransactions and a battle pass in a paid game. How incredibly bold of them. If I didn't get this in a humble bundle I'd be actively offended.
I give the servers a year at the absolute most.

Was fun when populated..... not rly anymore, lacks variety.
It's mid
This one had a really enticing premise- teams of spies sneaking around a little playground of NPCs, trying to blend in and discreetly hack and score points. The game itself only somewhat accomplishes the fun potential of that.
I liken this a bit to my experience with the Assassin’s Creed multiplayers. It’s a nice thought to sneak around acting like an NPC, but real-life players who have spent a lot of time with this will generally know what to look for and it turns into a messy shootout more often than not. It’s hard to act that discreet when you’re trying to accomplish your hacking goals.
Deceive, Inc. attempts to spruce up its multiplayer loop with some goofy gadgets and character unlock system (which unfortunately leans heavily on a battle pass even though this isn’t free to play). However, nothing here was enticing enough to keep my friends and I around long enough to really get good at this and understand its intricacies. I still really like the cartoon spy style of the game, but it doesn’t really capture that stealth espionage feeling I was hoping for.

Interesting concept with a lot of style and charm, but execution that fails to achieve the desired gameplay loop, as the game ends up being a battle royale more than anything relating to subterfuge. Yet I still have fun playing.
This game is straddled as "game I love but would never recommend to anyone".
If you hate losing and being thrown into matches with people who know the game better than you right off the bat avoid this game. If you're okay with smashing your head against the wall a couple of times to learn the game, might be worth it.
I like all the silly animation so I got my mileage out of it. Even if there is NOTHING worse than the feeling of starting a round and level 400 player sprinting to the spawn points they've memorized and blasting you to shreds 3 minutes into a round.
