And while the 24,000 copies he sold directly through the game's site like that helped pad the coffers, Hecker said his savings are now basically gone. That nest egg helped fund SpyParty's development, as did the decision to sell beta access to SpyParty for $15 about five or six years ago, before Steam launched its own Early Access program and made the concept ubiquitous.

One clue suggests the culprit isn’t bald or doesn’t have a beard, but players complained that after following those instructions, the mission still failed. Kill the wrong dude, and you’ll be charged with murder and fail the quest. If you kill the right person, you’ll complete the quest. What’s difficult is working out who the real spy is as the clues are incredibly vague. Once you’ve located the spy, you’ll need to duel them. Three zones will light up in the town, and you’ll need to visit one or all three to find the spy.
