The Lo-Fi Apocalypse has announced that its asymmetrical multiplayer game OBEY is releasing out of Early Access next month with its 1.0 update. The game will release across all Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms and will update automatically for all players who are currently part of the Early Access program of the game.
In celebration of the full release, OBEY is currently only for $7.99 and its final Early Access update before the full release of the title has also arrived. OBEY is a unique multiplayer action game where you must win by bribing and coercing your opponents to win yourself and they end up losing.
To win, the players must collect the maximum amount of money and the one player who has the most amount of money at the end of the game, wins the game. You increase your odds at winning by controlling Robo who is the brute force of the game and will help you to enforce your will onto your opponents.
Key features of OBEY include:
- Unique asymetrical multiplayer gameplay mechanics
- Social and Psychological King-of-the-hill gameplay
- Stealth Gameplay mechanics

- A buffet of items to creatively influence or trick opponents
- A complex world that allows for almost unlimited forms of deception

- No internet connection required with local LAN support
The game’s sole developer Dez graduated college in 2002 and it was then the idea started which came out in the shape of OBEY. Dez tried working with numerous teams on the project however all were failed and he ultimately decided to complete the project alone. Even with him working alone, the game has already seen a failed start as well as a failed Kickstarter yet he did not give up and the game is now releasing out of its Early Access program next month.
