Its three modes all inherit that typing-under-fire demand.","threadsPost":"Figure Me Out's core loop is typing a four-digit number off an opponent's forehead while they shoot back. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag all run on that same input demand, so the mode list reads as variations on one skill test rather than distinct rulesets.","newsletterBlurb":"Solo Groove Games began accepting signups on October 6 for a free playtest of Figure Me Out, a first-person action game for up to 20 players.
