About
OBEY is a highly asymmetrical multiplayer game.
We've all played games where you send commands to AI units or teammates.
OBEY instead puts you in the position to command your enemies (human opponents), and to be commanded by them. Players are always free to obey/disobey. It is always up to players to deal with the consequences of their decisions in the game.
You win by bribing and coercing your opponents to do things against their own self interest (and in your interest).
If you are being coerced you have only stealth, intelligence, trickery, and creativity to escape.
OBEY is sort of like Counter Strike Jailbreak Mod meets Spy Party.
OBEY's social aspects have also been compared to Trouble in Terrorist Town and Town of Salem.
To win, make more money than any one else by the end of the round.
To make the most money, take command of the giant robot (the robot player makes 10x more than the other players per second).
You take control of it by walking into a door at the base of the robot.
The player in the robot can easily destroy any player he sees trying to approach (IF he sees them).
That’s the basics – so superficially, it plays like ‘king of the hill’.
However...
Experienced robot players will know that it is not always in their interest to simply kill approaching players.
Why not? Because he can instead coerce them to do what he wants,
and that’s where the game gets interesting…
When playing as robo... you are free to shoot everything that moves (and this might even work against friends or new players), but if you just use this against experienced players you will get subverted, and you will lose. You want your opponents controlled, not hidden and out to subvert you...
When playing as a bunny... trying to constantly subvert in the face of an experienced robo is a terrible idea: you will spend most of your game waiting to spawn. OBEY rewards using TRICKERY, STEALTH, and INTELLIGENCE. OBEY does not reward constant blind 'guns blazing' rushing to the robot. (But what did you expect? you are a baby bunny .vs an enormous mecha-canon-turret).
REMEMBER: You will be playing against other human beings - they can not be fooled as easily as AI!

This is a very fun and interesting game. The reason I am giving it a negative review is that it has one big problem that I cannot overlook. Obey is a multiplayer-only game. You can jump right in to playing using the public servers, or by setting up a LAN party. If you want a private lobby though, you have to make one yourself. By "make one yourself" I don't mean just pressing the host button and inviting your friends over the Steam multiplayer interface. What I mean is buying a Raspberry Pi, starting up a VM, downloading the server exe, giving your friends your IP address so they can join, then solving all of the networking errors that ensue. Also, we looked for a Docker image to make this a little easier, there is none. If, at any point, the devs made hosting a private lobby just a matter of clicking the host button and sending a Steam invite, I would change this review right away.
The community is well and truly dead and gone, the servers are always empty, but if you can gather up a group of friends, it's a lot of fun, and it's not like anyone will intrude on the lobby, haha.
Obey... ... and obey I did. I listened to what the voices told me... ... at the time, I thought they were right. Looking back I should've know better, but now it's to late. They found their bodies yesterday morning, court is scheduled for next week. I don't know what I should do.
game is legit really cool and ties it all together with the art style much like happy wars this game is dead, but also REALLY good and quality this game is small, but this game cares and so should you
agood game, needs more attention

In OBEY, you play the role of a cute bunny who must compete with other cute bunnies to make the most money. Oh, and there's a giant robot that everyone's trying to take control of, which has a variety of weapons which can be used to brutally murder the other bunnies. You can avoid being brutally murdered by OBEYing, or being sneaky and trying to take control of the giant robot. Overall, it's an interesting take on what money and absolute power does to a person (or in this case a bunny).
Ciekawy, oryginalny i przyjemny w ogrywaniu pomysł, ale po pierwsze nikt w to nie gra, a po drugie gra jest za droga. Za darmo z płatnymi elementami kosmetycznymi miałaby sens. Jeśli już to więcej niż 10 zł bym na nią nie dał. Jeśli uda Wam się zdobyć grupę 4 znajomych minimum do kupna tego, to będzie to pewnie niezła zabawa na chwilę. Mi się nie udało przy niej utrzymać znajomych na dłużej niż 2 h do zwrotu produktu.
I played it when it first released, it was fun
The dictionary: 'The definition of Obey is to act according to what you have been asked or ordered to do by someone in authority, or to behave according to a rule, law, or instruction.' Me: *hops as bunny*
