When that deadline came and went, Hecker humorously tweeted that the game is still 2 years from shipping. At GDC 2010, Hecker then said that SpyParty would be out in 2 years. That said, Chris Hecker, the game’s creator, has never been particularly on the ball when it comes to updates. After receiving regular updates for years, SpyParty ’s latest update was back in January, with very little word from the developer since then.

There are plenty of Let’s Plays on YouTube that show how hilarious a player’s actions get just to try and blend in.īut despite SpyParty ’s apparent popularity, it still remains in Beta, leading many to speculate on SpyParty ’s future. A Spy hides in plain sight at a fancy cocktail party, trying to accomplish missions while blending in with the other guests, while a Sniper with a single bullet looks inward, searching for the Spy. Conversely, if the spy stops and appears to talk to various party goers, then the sniper’s job could be very difficult indeed.Įven though each game rarely goes longer than 3 minutes, the hidden depth presented in observing behavior gives the game tons of replayability. SpyParty is a competitive espionage game about subtle human behavior. If the spy player simply goes straight from objective to objective, ignoring all else, then the sniper will easily be able to pick out the player from the crowd.

The game revolves around the spy trying to appear as much like a computer controlled AI as possible.
