About the Game

A chaotic online asymmetric party game where your friends are the furniture.

One player is the Burglar, trapped in a house by a mischievous Kitsune and forced to complete random tasks to escape. All other players (2–8) are invisible Ghosts, possessing everyday objects to ambush the Burglar, steal the body, and complete their own tasks.

Finish your tasks. Escape with the body. Don’t trust the toilet.

Play in private lobbies with friends or host publicly.
