About the Game

In Host, you and your friends will play as prisoners who have been invited to participate in the "show." There will be 5 games that will test your bravery, stealth skills, intelligence, and resistance to criticism. The Host will comment on everything and guide you throughout the whole experience.

Game Features:

There will be several scenarios with completely different gameplay:

  • First Game:
    You will need to find and activate terminals in a huge abandoned factory. Monsters — and even your friends — will try to prevent you from activating them all. Your only tool will be a flashlight, which you must recharge at special stations.

  • Second Game:
    You will be placed in a large labyrinth that you must escape first. Lockers for hiding, a shotgun for defense, lurking monsters, and cold concrete walls — that's all you have.

  • Third Game:
    Here, you'll discover who is the "dumbest" among your group. A large set of logical and general knowledge questions will determine the winner — and the loser.

  • Fourth Game:
    Things get a bit more interesting. You'll search for valuable items hidden among mountains of trash in another abandoned location. Monsters will be present again, but this time their behavior will be different.

  • Fifth Game:
    Currently in development. We will update this text as soon as the fifth game is completed.
