SpyParty

SpyParty has been in Early Access since April 12, 2018 and remains so — the Steam Early Access flag is still active, reflecting the developer's own declaration that the game is unfinished. The developer, solo indie Chris Hecker, published an update on August 17, 2026 (the most recent communication), which added a new gameplay feature called "Last Chance" for replay and spectation sniping, fixed memory crashes, and restored macOS compatibility via Wine. Crucially, the developer explicitly explains in that post that Last Chance was implemented as groundwork for the forthcoming **No Wait Matchmaking** system, and mentions a follow-up feature called **Late to the Party** that is still to be implemented after PAX West 2026. This means specific, named, unshipped features remain on the developer's active to-do list. The August 19, 2025 update ("The Only Mostly Dead Update") similarly framed No Wait Matchmaking as "coming relatively soon," and the August 2026 update confirms it is still in progress roughly a year later. The store description also references a planned macOS Steam port that the developer intends to deliver after the game's full launch. Over the course of Early Access, the game has received substantial content including new venues (Teien in November 2018, Aquarium in March 2019, Redwoods in November 2019), the Sniper Daily Challenge, extensive matchmaking backend work, and many feature patches. The developer is clearly still engaged — the most recent post is from August 17, 2026 — and has publicly committed to further features before the game can be considered complete.
