Deceit

Developer: Baseline | Size: 20 GB | Price: Free

Developed by Baseline, Deceit is the game of trust, deception, and cooperation within which you’re either innocent or an infected one. If you wake up innocent, you need to complete tasks and escape but if you are infected one, you need to stop innocent players from escaping. But unfortunately, unlike other multiplayer games, you are forced to work together with strangers at the moment as you can’t yet create custom games with your friends; the matchmaking is random.

Moreover, it’s a first-person perspective game that proves to be highly thrilling that gives you an altogether different experience with better graphics and different themes. It’s a bit resource-intensive but worth trying for sure if your machine can handle the load.
