Like hide and seek, but with booze and bullets

At long last,SpyPartyhas arrived! Well, sort of. Thehighly anticipatedgame of subtlety and misdirection isn’t quite finished just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the action right now. Chris Hecker has launched anopen betafor the title, giving folks an opportunity to assist with the final stages of development.

Players will need to pony up at least $15 to gain access to the beta. Hecker says the fee will also act as a pre-order of sorts, entitling the tester to a finished version of the game if and when it ever comes out.
