10/10 would blow up again

EDIT: Unfortunately, after playing the game more, the experience has gotten worse. Not with the gameplay itself but the playerbase of it. I could wait in the lobby for 1 hour and not receive a single invite to play. Today I logged on during a primetime - a sunday night. And only 6 people were in the lobby.

I cannot recommend anyone purchasing this game for $25 and not even be able to play it because there is nobody to play with in the first place. Check my public profile photos for evidence.

Sad really.

Original Review:
This review is both an important suggestion to the developer and also a review of the game.

This is a great game with a very unique concept not seen anywhere else. This is something I know for a fact every one of my friends who even remotely touch games would like to try. However, when you compare this game to other games at the $25 price point, this game is definitely not up to par. This is DEFINITELY not to say that this game is inferior or less fun than other games out there. SImply put, the amount of content being provided is only worth $10, especially because everything about this game seems to be worked on by a single person(Same voice actor for the tutorial, the same voice actor for the sound effects in the game, slipshod lobbyroom, etc.)

At most, there are only 20 people in the lobby at once, a very sad sight, because my hope would be for this game to have bigger traffic. Seriously, their discord page is also a desert. This is in my honest and educated opinion; as a result of the high price point being put forward, it is really pushing people away from this awesome game. I would love to show this game and convince my friends to buy spyparty, but unfortunately I know for a fact that the response would be - "25 dollars??? eh..."

I strongly believe that this game needs to be put forward at $10, and then remarketted into media sources. Ie, free copys to big youtubers such as pewdiepie, markiplier, etc.

In fact, videogamedunkey has already made a video of this game and his video has 2.5m views! You would think after that the game would hit off and people would start purchasing it, yet as mentioned before, the playerbase is only 20 people!!! I believe this clearly shows how much the pricetag is dissuading people from making a purchase.

I hope you can see this message developer. I'm sure that you take a lot of pride in your work and view this game as your life's work and artpiece. However, decreasing a games price does NOT mean it is a lesser game. And it will ultimately reap in bigger benefits for both your community and revenue.
