This week's Tune Tuesday by @Kitty has a theme of Local Bands from @HauntedOwlbear.

So, I'm going to be that guy about the local band I recommend.

My brother is the lead singer of a local act from New York City called Hide and Seek. They're kind of a blend of blues and rock.

Check out their album, Found You, here: songwhip.com/hideandseek2/foun

Deceive Inc. is a first-person multiplayer PvP hide-and-seek extraction shooter mash-up. It's the second game in this month's Humble Choice bundle, and I'll admit that I was a bit disappointed to see it.

I'd looked briefly at Deceive Inc. on Steam in the past and added it to my "Ignore" list, because it didn't really seem like my kind of thing, and having played it now, I was right.

Deceive Inc. does seem kind of unique. It's part Among Us, part Midnight Ghost Hunt, part extraction shooter, with bit of Deathloop's swagger, all by way of Fortnite's graphical styling...

...as well as Fortnite's monetisation model. It seems almost impossible to release a AA game now without including a battle pass of some kind.

It feels like so many games want to be the next Fortnite, and I don't want to pay for a battle pass in any of them, particularly a paid game (*cough* Diablo IV *cough*).

As a game, it's stylish (in that Unreal Engine 4 way) and the gameplay is OK.

The biggest problem for me is that I despise solo PvP extraction shooters [exasperated sigh in the direction of The Division 2's Dark Zone], and I just don't enjoy hide-and-seek style games that much, and mashing them up like this is like offering me peas and corn as a meal.

It might be that if I played one of the 2v2 or 3v3 modes with friends, I might enjoy it more, but if I was already down to play something with friends, this probably wouldn't be on the list of options to begin with.

Deceive Inc. is:
