Description

SpyParty is an intense player-skill espionage game about subtle human behavior, perception, deception, performance, information asymmetry, and managing one's attention as a resource. In the 1v1 version submitted to IGF, one player is the Spy at a fancy cocktail party, trying to blend into the crowd of NPCs, while accomplishing missions, like "Bug the Ambassador" or "Contact the Double Agent". Meanwhile, the other player is the Sniper, looking in from outside the room, trying to determine which partygoer is the Spy and stop him or her before it's too late.
