About the Game

Welcome to the ultimate game of social deception.

In Act Normal, survival isn't about being the fastest or the strongest: it's about being the most convincing. You are dropped into a bustling environment filled with AI bots, and your only goal is to disappear into the crowd.

The Thieves

Your job is to grab as much loot as possible while moving, pausing, and pathing exactly like an AI. One unnatural step, a weird turn, or a moment of hesitation is all it takes to blow your cover.

The Guards

Your job is to observe. Scan the crowd, study the patterns, and root out the players who don't belong. It takes a sharp eye to spot the human hiding in the machine.

Game Modes

  • Infection Mode

    The ultimate battle between Guards and Thieves. Thieves must steal as much loot as possible without giving away their human nature. Guards must scan the crowd, spot the impersonators, and eliminate them one by one.

  • Tag War

    Two teams, equal numbers, total chaos! If a Guard catches a Thief, they instantly swap roles. The clock is ticking, your only goal is to end the match as a Thief to claim victory. Don't get caught holding the badge!

  • Steal or Die

    Every player is a Thief with a hidden weapon. Steal as much as you can while watching your back, because anyone around you could be another player waiting to strike. To make matters worse, the poorest Thief gets eliminated at regular intervals. Keep stealing, or face elimination!
