SteamFirst: Screencheat builds upon the major premise of gaming in the days of Golden Eye and Halo: when your arch nemesis sat mere feet from you and had a view of your precious screen. Often times, the winner is determined by knowing where the enemy is, and “screen looking” or “screen cheating” was the most infamously-abused form of cheating there was, long before the kids these days with their modded controllers and “360 no-scopes…” Screencheat puts up to four players in a colorful world, gives them odd assortments of weapons, and pits them against each other—but with two major twists: (1) Everyone’s screen is combined in split-screen formation, so you all see each other’s view. (2) Everyone is invisible. Using another player’s screen to determine where he or she is, is the only method you have of acquiring the location of your target(s) except for some of the weapons’ giveaways.
"Game devs Ted Park (Mild Beast, At Sundown: Shots in the Dark), Nicholas McDonnell (Samurai Punk, Screencheat), Shadi Muklashy (Sombr Studio, Invisigun Heroes), David Clark (Green Man Gaming, Black & White Bushido), and Justin Ng (Gattai Games, Muffled Warfare) have collaborated to bring together the ultimate ‘Hide & Seek Party Pack!’ now available in the Steam Summer Sale campaign.

Now though it's time to check out a whole new list of discounted titles. But what bargains are available for gamers to get excited about thanks to the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 24th-30th July 2018?"
