unlabelledView post →This is excellent news. Deceive Inc is the most creative and bold of the extraction games I've played - essentially Hitman in multiplayer - and I was worried it would vanish. Glad to see @morganpark.bsky.social still championing it too. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/cl...
unlabelledView post →Oh nice, Deceive Inc. is soon to join the growing list of multiplayer revivals. I keep saying that community server browsers are what keeps these things alive, and every time that's proven correct. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/cl...

unlabelledView post →38. Deceive Inc. This one always intrigued me but I just haven't been into multiplayer games in recent years. Got it in a bundle. store.steampowered.com/app/820520/D...
unlabelledView post →A bit late but I just was able to subscribe to this place! Hiya, I'm Gabriel. I'm a Senior Game Designer at Sweet Bandits Studios, working on Deceive Inc. In the past I worked at studios like Beenox, Ubisoft and Gearbox.
unlabelledView post →Deceive Inc. It was an awesome game. Unique concept, swag artstyle and chatacters And then the devs just fucking killed it. Despite what some people say, I can't fucking play it. Can't even host a game with *bots*. With bots for fuck's sake
unlabelledView post →I will never forgive the people that just treated this game like any other generic shooter you deserved better Deceive Inc.
unlabelledView post →Very excited to boot up Deceive Inc. after sooo long of putting it down. It's such a fun & interesting game! Shame it's not doing too well. They added private lobbies/bots so I don't have to deal with comp BS lol It wasn't horrible like COD. But I loved the beta/early stage of being a sneaky spy trying to steal the package/escape! It sorta became a rush/speed run to grab key cards/terminals. All I wanted was to enjoy being a derpy, sneaky spy lol 🕵️♀️🎮 💨 #DeceiveInc #relaxing #cannabis
unlabelledView post →PCDD) Deceive Inc. $4.99 via Steam. ow.ly/6Pil50UBkQy *Servers and matching will remain up for the foreseeable future, and we are exploring how to keep the game available to its fans long term, but have no announcements to make on that today.
unlabelledView post →I think it would attract more people who play games like Deceive Inc than Thief/Dishonored, but it’s very hard to maintain an online mp game, Deceive Inc studio just shut down last week
unlabelledView post →Deceive Inc has all the makings of the perfect PvP stealth game, but for some reason 1/3rd of the playerbase wants to run around in violence mode
unlabelledView post →Gonna be playing some Deceive Inc. tonight at 8pm GMT+8!!! Really excited for this one since i've been obsessed with the game!! I'll hopefully see y'all there!!
unlabelledView post →If you don't already have Deceive Inc you should head to the epic store because it's their FREE game right now. It's a lot of fun to play, so give it a try now! I think it changes on the 14th, so go grab it while it's there!
unlabelledView post →Thinking about how Deceive Inc is infested with top tier players that completely ignore the novel mechanics to run around getting headshots and they are regularly matched up with absolute newbies and how much new blood has surely been removed from the game because nobody wants to go against that.
unlabelledView post →We did this on Deceive Inc. too! Our game did not catch fire but it was super important for us from the get go ^^. Halo's Battlepass was a big inspiration for it. Having the ability to keep on playing on Battle Passes you bought feels like something that should just be the norm.
unlabelledView post →The Ship remains one of my all-time favourite multiplayer experiences. Hard to set up, both as a game and with enough friends, but a hilarious and tense story generator that I don't think has really been matched. Deceive Inc. tried but got the mix/focus wrong unfortunately.

unlabelledView post →Day 10 - Deceive Inc. That game was super cool and some of the most fun I’ve had in a pvp setting in years. Great aesthetic and music too. Gameplay feel was like The Ship, but way better. Super dedicated dev team too. It’s a shame they didn’t find a strong audience and shut down in the end.
unlabelledView post →Sept: Deceive Inc. I love this game for the spy aspect, which meant I had more fun in private games with friends than publics since they didn’t have the playerbase to have matchmaking. Sad to say they just announced the team was disbanded so no more updates, hope for P2P lobbies before servers go…
unlabelledView post →Will a sufficient number of players play a competitive stealth game that doesn't center combat? I asked them about the recent failure of likewise clever multiplayer stealth game Deceive Inc. (a game I liked a lot), and I appreciated how honestly the lead designer David McDonough grappled with it.
unlabelledView post →Now Deceive Inc was fire and I’m still recovering from the game shutting down soon.
unlabelledView post →I liked Deceive Inc. but it also is a very hard game in a unique way that I could see push people away. Its very hard to blend in when playing against people who are really good at spotting players from npc's. So you get shot out of the blue, not knowing what you did wrong which is not fun.
unlabelledView post →FREE GAME POST: If you have Epic games and like some sneaky fps gameplay, "Deceive Inc." is free until the 14th. Its a blast with friends.
unlabelledView post →So I tried a new game Deceive Inc Genuinely a very extraction shooter but all the heroes are variants of the spi from tf2 Truly if you haven't give it a shot if you can tm its epic's free game #videogamesrec #videogames
unlabelledView post →The Epic game of the week, Deceive Inc, is also a very fun time! I fell out of it because I kept getting destroyed though :(
unlabelledView post →Folks, log into the Epic store and grab Deceive, Inc. for free. The game is loads of fun, and a few more people should be playing it.

unlabelledView post →Deceive Inc. is currently free on Epic, a game I really loved the idea of. A multiplayer stealth spy game, infiltration, disguises, gadgets, all that jazz. When I played it I sadly found it became brutally hard for a number of reasons... store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dece...
unlabelledView post →The Epic Games Stores is now offering action/adventure Ghostwire: Tokyo and multiplayer hide-and-seek game Witch It for free. Both Windows games are for keeps if you get them before next week's giveaway of Deceive Inc. begins. More: www.bluesnews.com/s/277568/
unlabelledView post →OKAY, I haven't played this game in a while, but I have to mention Deceive Inc, because this game is hella fun. It's an FPS shooter, an espionage game, an NPC simulator all in one. The character designs are chef's kiss and the OST of this game is SO well done.

unlabelledView post →Our game Deceive Inc. is officially 1 year old and I couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished. We created a unique and fresh game in an extremely competitive space, and it's constantly evolving, getting better. Thank you so much to everyone who has played and continues playing!
unlabelledView post →Kind of hooked in Deceive Inc. I'm playing Hans the former supervillain and the unlockable cosmetic options are addictive. I can give him a steel jaw, dress him like a mob boss, give him a big fur cape. Also it's the first extraction game I win semi consistently.
unlabelledView post →Been trying lesser known extraction games. One standout is Deceive Inc. It's a spy game where you infiltrate a map and try to steal something top secret. You look like an NPC and try to blend in with them, and keep an eye out for other players and ambush them when they blow their cover.
unlabelledView post →Been having fun with Deceive Inc. A neat take on an extraction game by ways of Spy Party. A genuinely fresh take on the format that requires a little thought alongside the hero shooter mechanics. It has a free play weekend this weekend and is well worth checking out
unlabelledView post →Ah ha, I just checked the Epic version of Deceive Inc. (it was a freebie a few winter sales ago I believe) - can confirm, its big Play button brings you to a proper old-fashioned server browser. This here. THIS is how you keep multiplayer games alive, not some piece of crap algorithm.
unlabelledView post →Hello, this is not connected to Stop Killing Games but it’s still good news. Splitgate and now Deceive Inc. are getting preserved in some form. Deceive Inc. shall be available indefinitely and have community servers in the future. youtube.com/shorts/_UKwC...

Now you can host matches vi... #SteamAndEpic #Deceive #Bandits #Sweet #Disco #LIVE
unlabelledView post →Seeing Deceive Inc is getting an update for mods and player hosting is actually so great. Its a genuinely fun game and its a shame that it ended up not being as popular as it could of been, but glad its getting something in the way of proper end of life support.

unlabelledView post →DECEIVE INC. Booting a dead Live Service game and playing with its bones is sad, but there's fun to be had if you have the players. Tricks, traps, close calls. Methodical early setup with a frantic final phase. Mindgame-heavy multiplayer games aren't ALL I played this year, but this is another one!

unlabelledView post →KILLER INN - So getting me to play deception games is usually a hard sell but this one seemed pretty cool. Problem is, Deceive Inc. was recently shut down. What does this game offer that will keep it alive when Deceive Inc. failed? Cause they seem really similar? I guess we'll see.

unlabelledView post →Deceive Inc is the best game that I'm irredeemably horrendous at incredibly cool concept, captures stylized espionage better than just about anything else I've played but the playerbase is small (albeit loyal) which means the learning process has been akin to using my head as a sledgehammer
unlabelledView post →Question, I've just got the chance to try out Deceive Inc. ...and I don't really get what this game is aiming for. Have someone here played it, and if so what are your thoughts? I think this would be amazing game for a group of friends, but I have no chance of convincing my friends to play anything together. Then there's multiplayer with others, which is well, I either keep getting players who know what's up or trolls that just keep shooting at anyone for no reason :/ #deceiveinc #multiplayer
