Seven Spies is a strategic game of espionage for 1 to 7 liars. Play solo or gather your friends and take on the role of secret agents. The criminal organization Cipher has planted bombs around an embassy and it’s up to you to save it from destruction. Players will explore the embassy to find and interrogate assets for intel on where Cipher's bombs are located and how to defuse them. Pretty straightforward, right? It would be, except for the fact that some of your friends are secretly working for Cipher! Seven Spies brings the explosive intrigue and social deduction from board games like Mafia and Werewolf into the digital era by introducing over 25 spy gadgets (explosive pens, smoke grenades, night vision glasses, and more!), countless opportunities for bluffing and misdirection (cut the embassy's power, pull the fire alarm, or disguise yourself as another player!) and a dynamically generated map that will never be the same twice. Will you be able to thwart (or advance!) Cipher's latest plot? [How to Play] Seven Spies has two modes: Cooperative and Competitive. Cooperative Mode (1-3 Players) Grab your partner or a few trusted friends to play against a computer-controlled CounterAgent. You have 24 turns to defuse 3 out of the 5 Bombs planted in the embassy. Proceed with caution: The CounterAgent is lurking around trying to stymie your every move... Competitive Mode (4-7 Players) Each player must have their own device with an internet connection and Seven Spies installed. Gather your friends into a room or over voice/video chat and enter the same "Mission Code" to begin. Once the mission starts, players will be briefed on their role as either an Agent or a Cipher Agent and placed in the embassy's entrance. Every turn, each player will perform an action simultaneously. Once everyone has chosen an action, players will be notified of what happened before everyone moves on to the next turn. Agents have 24 turns to defuse 3 out of the 5 Bombs planted in the embassy. Cipher Agents can either detonate 3 Bombs, assassinate the Agents, or stall them until no more turns remain. Good luck, Agent. [00 Agent Pack] Players looking for an even deeper experience can purchase the 00 Agent Pack to: - Unlock exclusive Items like the PP7, Remote Mine, Smoke Grenade, X-ray Contacts, and Face Mask (think Mission: Impossible style) - Unlock a 10 Player Mode that allows for up to 10 players and 3 Cipher Agents in a single Mission - Custom Mission Settings to tune item drops, win conditions, modifiers, and more - Stat and Award tracking across Missions - The ability to take a Custom Portrait with your device camera and insert yourself into the game!

DEADGRID is a minimalist zombie arena shooter — pure, intense arcade action with real multiplayer. THE CLIMB A campaign ladder thousands of levels deep, and no two rungs are alike. Every level rolls its own horde, its own weather, its own rule and its own goal: one-hit-point runs, total blackouts, meteor storms, assassination contracts. Two modes break the pattern — INFECT, where you ARE the outbreak and hunt the survivors down, and FREE FOR ALL, where everyone carries the same gun and only one walks out. 1,080 WEAPON FINISHES Thirty collectable liveries — GOLD, ONYX, SYNTHWAVE, NOSFERATU, VOIDLINE, RAINBOW and more — across all 36 weapons. Every third rung of the Climb pays one out. Locked finishes stay secret until you earn them. TWELVE HANDCRAFTED ARENAS Fight through Times Square, Shibuya Crossing, the Champs-Élysées, Copacabana, Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, Chichén Itzá and Terreiro do Paço — plus four arenas of our own: The Garden, Sporewood, Rustyard and Cindermaw. Lava rivers, container mazes, neon crossings. Every layout is placed by hand, never generated. SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE Endless waves of the undead. Every run is permadeath — beat your best in kills, waves and time survived. RANKED 1v1 — THE ARENA Duel real opponents in last-one-standing combat. Buy rage zombies and send them hunting your rival, earn a random upgrade every round, and climb 8 divisions to the top of the global ladder. DUO CO-OP Team up with a friend or matchmake with a stranger. Shared horde, shared glory — revive each other and see how deep two survivors can go. ARSENAL OF 36 WEAPONS Pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles, snipers, launchers, energy weapons, flamethrowers and wilder things — each with its own 3D model. Loot weapon crates mid-run and build your loadout on the fly. NINE ZOMBIE TYPES Walkers, runners, tanks, boomers, jumpers that vault your walls, fire-spitters, bladesmen who cut bullets from the air, gaolers with hooked chains and summoners who raise the dead. Smart pathfinding routes them around cover — they hunt, they don't just shamble. TURRETS & DEPLOYABLES Three turret types, barriers, claymores, explosive barrels and the legendary clapping monkey. Build choke points, then watch the horde walk into them. PROGRESS THAT LASTS • GAME PASS: a 101-tier season track with exclusive skins, chests and emotes • MISSIONS: endless ladders that pay pass XP with bonus chests on every claim • SPECS: permanent lifetime upgrades that make every future run stronger • 42 SKINS to unlock — from the humble Rookie to floating war gods • 32 EMOTES to talk trash in style COMPETE WITH THE WORLD Global leaderboards, a top-1000 board, friends list with live presence, duo invites and player profiles. Daily streaks keep your fire burning. PURE PERFORMANCE Optimized for smooth 60fps. All game audio is synthesized in real time — zero audio files, tiny download. Endless waves, thousands of levels. Just pure arcade zombie survival. Any coin pack removes ad breaks forever. Download DEADGRID and see how long you survive.
