Everyone is out to get someone in the group. It is only through hiding who you are after that one can be successful. On top of this the player also has to hide their motive from the AI security as well, since their are cameras all over the ship, meaning one can not freely brandish a weapon.
Players will need to watch their hunger and thirst levels while playing, which adds to the level of mechanics. Not only do you need to sneak around to get your kill but you need to sleep eat and drink in order to stay healthy enough to do so.
Even though there is no LAN play, players can all connect to a server online to still enjoy playing in the same room. The hectic gameplay makes for some fun shouting matches when things start heating up and people start dying.
A game as much as a social experiment OBEY sees players trying to trick their own teammates for their own gain. On top of this, the player who is the enemy (as this is asynchronous gameplay) can gain control of one of the opposing team's players adding in an even deeper level of trickery, making for a game of not knowing who to trust.
OBEY has LAN support as well as online play support, so no matter how a group of local users want to connect (over internet or LAN) it is possible. This makes for a great game to play locally since it is actually quite difficult to find random online players on the games servers. So setting up a match with friends is the way to go especially since the connection possibilities fits anyone's situation.
It appears the servers are often empty making it really difficult to find players to play with online.This may not be an issue if the game becomes more popular, but that is not guaranteed.
With all the crazy events that can happen because of the other peoples' lying abilities, you can get into some intense gameplay in the first blackout. The name of the game suits it very well.
you will always find players to go against and since it is hard to find, recommending it to your friends will give you more players to play with or against.
Players will be tasked with setting up deals in the game where they are tasked with meeting a particular trade partner to swap cash for an item (it's called a "disk" in the game). many things can happen during a trade making for an edge of your seat situation where each player could at any moment pull out a gun and start shooting. This makes for gameplay that one can never tell what will happen and requires each to try and "read" the other.
Any game that is in Early Access on Steam could possibly have issues such as missing gameplay elements as well as bugs, since it is basically an alpha or beta product.
This flash game site is often bogged down and has trouble finding random players. It is best used when giving the game rounds code to players one has already set a playtime up with.
