About the Game

Hunt. Hide. Betray. Survive.

Step into a tense wilderness where 2-10 players face off in unpredictable rounds of survival and sabotage. At the start of each match, one or two players become Hunters with a bow and trail cams. Everyone else is a Survivor racing to stay alive until sunrise.

Dynamic Multiplayer Mayhem

  • Hunt down other players or outsmart Hunters by using the environment, tools, and teamwork.

  • Navigate forests, campsites, and hazards as you struggle against freezing cold and hostile foes.

Trust No One

  • Use proximity and radio voice chat to form alliances… or set traps.

  • No two rounds play the same. Expect betrayal, close calls, and last-second escapes.

Whether you’re working together or backstabbing your friends, every match delivers unpredictable, laugh-filled chaos.

Features

  • Public & private lobbies: . Create/join sessions with up to 10 friends or strangers.

  • Co-op & PvP: Fight or survive together in wild, asymmetric matches.

  • Voice chat with purpose: Strategize, deceive, and coordinate using proximity and radio chat.

  • Replayable chaos: Procedurally tense rounds where every match feels fresh.

Use proximity voice chat to befriend or betray your fellow Survivors, or use your radio to stay in touch across the forest to group up or mislead. Your torch may save your life in more ways than one. Whether you’re hunting or hiding, no two rounds play out the same.
