Yeah, part of what I liked about the pitch is the presumed lack of murder
It's still a high stakes situation for the characters where things can go very wrong, but it's not like if you fail stealth you're going to get shot (or, conversely, when you fail stealth you can just murder the person who spotted you instead)

Honestly it's a shame the pitch of "spies vs mercs but it's a romcom/teen comedy/stoner comedy situation which could be solved if anyone talked out their problems" looks like cheap steamshite.
Because the idea of playing some dumb "Lets get wasted at the upper middle class kids house while he's parents are out of town, OH NO THE PARENTS ARE BACK RAPIDLY CLEAN UP" thing sounds hilarious.
Damn I like this pitch even more
I'd add in playing the party segment, which involves getting points for drinking a lot and doing well at (drinking) minigames and such
And then after a randomly determined number of minutes the parents get back and you have to clean everything and hide and all that, with obvious penalties if you're too drunk or anything like that
And the points don't matter unless you actually pull it off and fool the parents into thinking nothing was happening

Oh hey, I had a game idea very similar to this years ago based on a high school friend of mine whose parents had season basketball tickets and he would throw, like, three hour ragers at his house while they were gone and then clean up quickly before they got home.
In general I would like games with lower stakes where violence isn't the default verb. Just, uhhhhh, not like that cheating game.

Reminds me of one of my favourite level gimmicks in Clandestine.
Where I walk up to the front desk and it starts some spy dialogue. So I say I've got an appointment etc etc.
And then my co-op partner *freaks the fuck out* because the full netmap for that level only appears upon dialogue starting and he has to rapidly find out details of possible appointments I can feed to keep the charade going.
Man, speaking of games I wish just had a better version made: Clandestine.
EDIT: Also playing the party would take too long for multiplayer. So instead each party player gets handed a hand of cards (the host has some pre-panic cleaning ones) and can play up to 3 of them in like, 15 seconds. With the full reveal only happening at the end.
To simulate the "wait we went *how far?*" level of conversation quickly.
No that shit is straight up ripping off Breath of the Wild. Slow time on dodge, Sheikah Slate physics abilities, stamina based climbing and gliding, shrines, etc. At least Genshin Impact did a couple twists on some of these rather than just slapping a skin on and declaring it their original work.
There's no weapon degradation and you can customize your character so it's automatically better than breath of the wild. No gacha either so it's also better than genshin.
Shame about the ubisoft part, which plummets it back down again.
I don't know about the no gacha part, this is Ubisoft we're talking about so I'm fully expecting this thing to be stuffed full of microtransactions

They're not exclusive is the thing, since a microtransaction store can easily have a "random loot box" that is honestly far worse odds than any mobile gacha on the market.

don't shit your pants is one of my favorite games ever
"Run around a house and try do things" games seem to be gaining in popularity. Theyre relatively simple to make, often using assets, and they seem to do well with streamers.
I am given to understand that in the new Assassins Creed there is a bit where you beat up a bishop while a dude goes "smack my bishop" which seems like it would have been pretty haggard in Duke Nukem Forever
This is deliberately a Keith Flint homage. He has the hair. If you blow up a thing nearby he calls you a firestarter. When the side mission is done a completion title comes up on screen, and this one is called The Prodigy.
Well I went from hating it to loving it from your post, thanks.

I mean it is their original work, this is how video games have been forever, if a game has good ideas other games do it. It’s the same type of game, and derivative yes, but lots of fun stuff is derivative, doesn’t make it not their original work.
Also I didn’t realise slow time on dodge was in breath of the wild first? I thought that’s been in a bunch of games?
"My favourite developer copied someone else" is fine. "My favourite developer's game got copied" is a crime punishable by death. Come on, it's easy.

"mass effect but porn" game Subverse decided to partner with Arch to show off a preview of their game
If you are unaware of who Arch is, you may work for Studio FOW because they didn't have a clue either.
Arch is a YouTuber formerly known as "Arch Warhammer" before Games Workshop forced him to remove Warhammer from his name because his political views were so abhorrent that they could not associate with him even in passing. A lot of his views are your standard mush-brained alt-right bollocks. He claims black people look strange as Space Marines. Those hulking bipedal tanks that 4K fans know as Space Marines? Yes, those are totally reasonable aesthetics but some black skin is a bridge too far for Arch.
While still on the subject of Warhammer 40K, he went to great lengths to deny that the game has fascist themes. The Imperium of Man is supposed to represent fascism left unchecked, yet it has an unfortunate track record of attracting actual fascists. If you have seen the videos of Blue Lives Matter protestors singing along to Rage Against The Machine, you will know that racists and fascists are media illiterate and cannot discern the difference between depiction and endorsement. Arch is one such moron.
He also made a video on the Christchurch shooter that managed to simultaneously deny the white nationalist radicalisation of the perpetrator but also pepper in a bunch of anti-Muslim views. Having a dig at Muslim people in a video about a massacre targetting Muslim people. Arch is a real piece of shit. On the flipside, on his second politically focused channel, he argues in favour of authoritarianism to tackle Muslim extremism. The point is that Arch does not hide his political views at all. He also has a terrible sense of graphic design if you've ever been unfortunate enough to see one of his thumbnails, are all Neo-Nazis just bad at aesthetics?
He is a persona non grata in the Warhammer 40K community, he is actually banned from being discussed on certain subreddits, and since there is some crossover between the Warhammer 40K and Subverse fandoms (not a commentary, just an observation) some fans fan brought up their concerns about Studio FOW bringing him in.
after people pointed all that out they then apologized:
"We were not aware at the time that he had made racist and other controversial statements in the past" and "we did not look into his background as much as we could have, and we know now this was a mistake."
and then a few minutes after that decided to backtrack on their apology:
"Hello my darlings.
I am going to make this short, because we’ve taken up enough of your time with what has happened recently regarding Arch.
To start, lets keep Subverse as a game for getting off on sex and not politics, it’s best for everyone.
In terms of the previous statement regarding Arch, we were bombarded suddenly with posts from different political groups, and as a result we acted in haste. After all, we are only titty software developers but suddenly we found ourselves in a political debate.
We would like to make it absolutely clear, we have no problems with Arch personally. We simply wanted him to showcase some of our gameplay together, which Arch did professionally and he was very gracious with his time.
We appreciate his time and want to say we are sorry for jumping into a politically charged situation so quickly. Subverse has no political affiliation, it’s a game to be enjoyed by everyone.
We did not want to offend any fans of Arch, he provides a platform for independent games creators like us to showcase our games.
We love all of our fans regardless of political affiliation and we hope in due time you can forgive us for this unfortunate misunderstanding."
