Our take on Hidden in Plain Sight
The social party premise receives most of the attention, while the strict format can be overlooked: this is local multiplayer only, requires controllers, and offers neither solo play nor online matches.
What is Hidden in Plain Sight?
Hidden in Plain Sight is a local multiplayer stealth party game for 2–4 players using controllers.
Each participant controls a character among identical AI-controlled figures, receives an objective, and can eliminate other players. Success depends on completing the objective while avoiding attention and identifying moments to attack. In Death Race, players and non-player characters move toward a finish line while each player has one bullet to remove someone from the race. Other modes use similar conflicts between pursuing a goal and exposing the player to elimination. Rounds are brief and focus on social play, with no single-player or online mode.
