Sometimes, the laser suddenly changes pace, or becomes very still, seemingly pointing at nothing. They try to mislead the spy about their focus of attention, hoping to bait a confirmation tell from a highly suspicious guest who thinks he can take advantage of the lack of sniper presence. The bait Experienced snipers often point the laser in one direction while looking at the other. Does he guard the bug? Go for a quick time add! Does he stare down Toby and his tray? Transfer the microfilm!

Try to guess what the sniper is likely focusing on and take advantage of his lack of attention somewhere else. Pay close attention to the laser at all times. He also notes that it's Windows PC-only right now, but has low system requirements.General concepts Avoid the Sniper Hecker notes that while plans may change, $15 is the current set price point. Like Minecraft, supporting SpyParty in this early stage gets you beta access and a copy of the full game once it releases. Think Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer, but with a bit more subtlety and significantly less stabbing.Ī word of caution for cheapskates, though: this is a paid beta, and once your invite comes in the mail you'll have to shell out $15 to participate. The spy will be completing his own missions, but trying to blend in and act like an AI character. If all this talk of spies and parties confuses and enrages you, here's a quick primer: SpyParty is a two-player shooter in which one sniper player tries to detect which party-goer is a spy, played by a real human being.

Sign-ups began today, and the beta will roll out in phases over the next few months as creator Chris Hecker scales the servers to match. SpyParty is no exception, and soon players will be able to try their own hand at blending in and sniffing out covert agents when the early-access beta launches. As everyone knows, the best parties come with deception and murder.
