About the Game

OUTPLAY - an online co-op game for 4-8 players where social pressure, risky challenges, and player interaction decide everything. Communicate only by phone, adapt, deceive, and prove that you can outplay everyone else.

FEATURES

  • Over 30 unique rounds and 5 final events

  • Each round presents a new situation where players decisions directly affect the outcome.

  • Communication happens only through the phone

ALLIANCES AND BETRAYAL

Form alliances, manipulate others, adapt, deceive, and prove that you can outplay the rest

OVER 30 ROUNDS

The game features more than 30 regular rounds and 5 final events

Every match plays out differently, because everything depends on the players’ decisions

RANDOM EVENTS

Each round introduces a new situation:

  • someone receives a gift

  • someone is confronted with a gun

  • someone’s food is poisoned

  • someone pretends to be someone they’re not

Players decisions can completely change the course of the game

In this game, the truth isn’t always the best choice.

Sometimes, to move forward, you’ll have to lie.

That’s part of the rules.
