Blend In

Hide in plain sight. Blend into a crowd of identical NPCs by moving like them, while an armed Detective with limited bullets hunts the humans. Social hide-and-seek for 2-8 players: mimic, bluff, talk... and don't give yourself away.

About the Game

THE CROWD IS YOUR CAMOUFLAGE
A neon city full of identical, machine-controlled pedestrians. Human players hide among them. One player is the Detective: armed, walking through the crowd, hunting for impostors. Your only disguise is your behavior: move like an NPC, and you are invisible. Hesitate, run, or look where you shouldn't... and you're dead.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY

As a FIGURANTE:

- Use only the emotes the NPCs use. Copy an NPC's route and gestures. Join the crowd's spontaneous waves or stand out.

- Take an optional secret mission every round: extra points in exchange for risk. - Surviving right next to the Detective scores more than hiding in a corner: the game rewards nerve.

- Talk to other figurantes through proximity voice chat. The Detective can't hear you... But you can hear him.

As the DETECTIVE:

- Limited bullets: missing on an innocent NPC can cost you the round.

- Mark suspects and tracks them. Trigger a crowd reaction and catch whoever reacts late.

- Your voice is a megaphone the whole crowd hears: talk, pressure, bluff.

- Or play in Infiltrator Mode: no visible gun, camouflaged among them.

EVERY ROUND TELLS A STORY

Roles rotate until everyone has hunted. At the end of each round, the camera flies over the city and reveals who was who and where they were hiding:

the guaranteed "IT WAS YOU?!" moment. Match winner by accumulated points.

PROGRESSION WITHOUT MICROTRANSACTIONS

Earn points for missions, style, and wins. Unlock dances (with 3D preview), character packs, and maps. Every emote you buy is also performed by the NPCs, so nothing ever gives you away. Points aren't worth money: they're worth respect in your lobby.
