Welcome to a world where the AI acts like players while the players act like AI. Who is who? Did that guard just steal your favorite keycard or was it the staff member passing through?

The staff member's running diagonally back and forth!
That must be a player-
wait what? HOW-
*pew pew pew*
*thud*
"See, I knew it! It was the guard all along!"

Oh gosh, I really gotta heal - I mean pee!
Hopefully those nasty humans chasing don't catch me roleplaying as a spare toilet in the stall!

This is a game where you can truly play as anyone from a run & jumping gun-shooting retiree to half a donut sticking through the floor, moseying along.

Tips:
Unlock Larcin ASAP for the most fun and best agent to learn off of IMO. He will challenge your game sense constantly.
Join Deceive Inc's Discord to get tons of tips, lore, teammates, etc. They've got it all!
If you want stealthier movement, consider using directional movement only (not moving with the mouse).
Ideally start with Solos to learn what NOT to do then switch to teams after.
You can hit Q when you have the package to scan for enemies. It costs credits per second and the package pings your location based on your movement speed. Consider moving slower for later pings of your location.
Check out the player 1stGlitch for some stellar guides and gameplay.

If experiencing lag, consider the following steps:
1) Server Region: Best Latency Only
2) Lower settings
3) Lower resolution scale
4) Turn it off and on again
5) Use Ethernet

Good luck and have fun! This game has it in spades.

p.s. check out the OST on Youtube or Spotify. It's so good.
