About This Demo

1985

1985 is a multiplayer social deception game set in a dystopian world under constant surveillance.

Two rival factions, The Brotherhood and The Resistance, compete to secure resources and outmaneuver one another while hidden Rats infiltrate their ranks. Trust is fragile, suspicion is constant, and every decision can shift the balance of power.

Players complete objectives across the map, deposit earnings to support their faction, identify enemy agents, and attempt to expose the opposing side before it’s too late. Meanwhile, society remains tightly controlled by the ever-watchful Eyes and enforced by the Sentinels, creating an atmosphere where caution is survival.

Designed for group play, 1985 delivers tense, unpredictable matches driven by strategy, deception, and human behavior where no two sessions unfold the same way.
