Dead Drop is a local-multiplayer game of espionage and deception for two players. One player, the Spy, must complete objectives and blend into the crowd, using gadgets like smokescreens and decoy doubles to evade the Sniper, who must find and kill the Spy. Games take place in a variety of maps including a city square, metro station, and dance club, with each side trying to outwit the other in a tense game of cat and mouse.
