What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo independent developer, I will be building this game over the next couple of years. Going early access allows me the opportunity to shape this game with the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“My current plan is to release version 1.0 approximately 12 months from EA release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My current plans are to add 2 new game modes (TBA), 5 new maps/themes (Prohibition, Bikers, Triads, Cartels, Irish) each with their own unique feel, music and weapons.

I also plan to have full controller support, cross platform (steam, epic, Xbox) and steam deck support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There is currently 1 game mode (RICO), 2 maps, 12 weapons, 3 Player Roles, Original music that changes dynamically in game.

The game is currently in Pre-Alpha and moving steadily towards Alpha.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I have no plans to increase the price of the base game and all content updates leading up to 1.0 will be free. I have plans for added DLC after the release of 1.0 and will explore options on how best to distribute the DLC closer to release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan on engaging with the community via Steam Community and Discord and look forward to working with the community to shape WISE GUYS into an awesome social deduction game.”

About This Game

The Boss is furious! A Rat in his crew tipped off the Feds and he is demanding blood. Now every pair of eyes in the room is looking for someone to blame and NO ONE is safe! As trust erodes and chaos erupts, the accusations fly and a split second decision could save you... or get you killed.

Expose the Rat and The Boss MIGHT spare your life. BUT... choose the wrong guy, trust the wrong voice, OR believe the wrong story and the Rat walks free... while you're left holding the body bags.

BRUTAL MELEE COMBAT!

Punch, kick, stomp or grab whatever object happens to be laying around with an arsenal of melee weapons to choose from.

PHYSICS BASED TASKS!

Sweep the building for bugs, load duffle bags with cash, guns, and drugs and get them to the van before the Feds kick the door in. One mistake and the whole operation can collapse.

TRUST NO ONE!

The Boss is looking to make an example out of someone and the Rat is making sure it's you. Every second the Rat remains unexposed is a risk and every decision could be your last.

KNOW YOUR ROLE

THE BOSS -

You're the top dog. Feared, obeyed, respected. You call the shots. Who lives, who dies, that's your business. But rage and betrayal can cloud even the sharpest of minds and you need to reclaim control fast. Pull the trigger, make the call and hope it's the right one because at the top, power is everything... until it's gone.

Wise Guy -

You're the muscles, the underdog, the backbone of this criminal organization, stashing contraband as the room spirals into chaos.  Paranoia is a loaded gun and you have no rank to protect you, no glory to hide behind, and no power. Just bruised knuckles and the hard truth that one wrong move and you're suddenly the fall guy.

Rat -

You're the Rat. Sneaky, ruthless, manipulative. You move in plain sight and sow doubt with every step. While you're sabotaging, stealing contraband and bleeding the timer dry beware of triggering panic mode. Pass the blame and frame a fool... but get caught and you will be exposed for what you truly are.

More roles to be announced.
