Spy Quarter (a game in which you're the SENTRY^^)

Post by rufusluciusivan »

Something akin to a curiosity. Now, on the USB, we are familiar with videogames in which you play a character who's disguising herself to infiltrate a place. But ever wondered what it's like from the other side? A game in which you play the sentry who's attempting to unmask the disguised spies? If that's the case, then this is the game for you. :lol:

I'm quoting the description on itch.io: You stand guard of the organization "Covert Control", protecting it from enemy spy infiltrations. Catch and neutralize them all. And always remember: security in the forefront!

Gameplay is quite simple. Each time a woman comes to your desk to gain access to the building, she'll hand you an ID and a mission report which you must read, and you'll then have to check in your database if everything she says is true. If it is, she's a real agent and you must let her in. If there is one mistake, then she's a spy, and you have to restrain her. It can be quite tricky though. As you can guess, the mistakes are always very small easy-to-miss details. On one playthrough, I let a spy in because I didn't notice she didn't have a small scar on her hand while the real agent was supposed to have one according to her description.

Unfortunately, there is no indication on how the spies got their uniforms and fake IDs. This game could have a spot on the "Scenes that seem like a set up for a uniform steal but aren't" thread! Still, I enjoy the idea of this organization, with its four departments (Rescue, Counterspy, Infiltration and Reconnaissance), and all-female agents. The standard uniform also has a huge henchwoman-vibe which I enjoy.

Since the game is free, I'm sharing the direct link. No need to download anything either. You play directly on the website. To be honest, the gameplay feels repetitive very quickly, but it's worth trying once. You'll only need between 30 minutes and 1 hour to finish one playthrough.

Surprisingly fun and addictive. Reminds me of that game where you play as a donkey smithing weapons. Ah, childhood memories...
