    I got a message from Steam saying that this game would be US$5 this weekend. I was just wondering if anyone here had played it, and whether they thought it was worth getting.

    Also when it was first released I heard some reports that the multiplayer component was a tad broken, in that players could team together to just kill everyone, with complete disregard of the intended game mechanics. Has this been fixed at all?

    I just read the Wiki article, and this game seems like the best thing ever. I'm going to purchase it if I see it.

    Assassinations. What's NOT to love?

    This is funny. The offices of Outerlight, the game's developer, are within walking distance of my flat :xx:

    The fact that people just camp the toilets until you have to use them? The game is good, the PLAYERS ruin it.

    We used to play this game in high school ... where you were given a squirt gun with watercolors in it. Everyone had their own quarry and you didn't know who had your name. You lost if you were killed (squirted with the dyed squirt gun) or you killed the wrong person -- you were only allowed to kill your quarry and the person targetting you.

    Fun game. Great at parties -- especially large group campouts.

    It might be okay in a computer game, but not as fun as the "real" thing.
