Hidden in Plain Sight Online -- public beta now available

I have opened the beta testing for the new version of Hidden in Plain Sight to the public for the Windows version of the game. If you opt into the beta, you will be able to play online with up to 8 players total. There is a limitation to four Xbox-type controllers per machine, however. I have also added keyboard support. This is absolutely a BETA. There will be bugs! There will be sync issues! There will be crashes! And this is a good thing. This means that you are helping me find these issues before rolling this out as a full release. To get into the beta: Right-click on the game in your library Choose Properties Choose Betas Choose "Super Secret Online Beta" from the dropdown. This should update your game to the new version. To leave the beta, choose "None" from that same dropdown. Please post in the new Hidden in Plain Sight Online Beta forum if you find issues! And if you don't find any issues, please tell me that, too! I'm really anxious about this and want to your success stories. THANK YOU for your help testing this!

LOCAL-MULTIPLAYER ONLY. NO SINGLE PLAYER OR ONLINE. REQUIRES XBOX COMPATIBLE (OR EMULATED) CONTROLLERS.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a set of local multiplayer (2-4 players) game modes that share a common theme: trying to accomplish goals without drawing attention to yourself.

In each game mode, players control characters in a sea of identical NPCs. Players are given a task, but also the means to eliminate each other from the game. The goal is to blend in with the NPCs, accomplish the task at hand, and take out other players before they get you.

One of the simplest game modes is called "Death Race." Players and NPCs are racing to be the first to cross a finish line. Each player has a gun with one bullet, and can eliminate one person from the race. Do you sprint ahead, calling attention to yourself but maximizing you chances of winning? Or do you hang back with the pack?

Other game modes create similar tension by putting players in a conflicted position of wanting to accomplish a goal, but risking elimination by doing so.

Rounds are quick and lively, and always end in laughter and friendly shouting. So grab your controllers and friends and give it a shot!
