About the Game

Blend in, cause chaos, and don’t get caught.

In this multiplayer stealth game, Pretenders hide among NPCs while Guards try to figure out who is real. Every movement, interaction, and mistake can give you away.

PLAY AS PRETENDERS

Pretenders must act like normal civilians while secretly causing chaos around the map. Sabotage objects, distract Guards, and complete mischiefs without standing out.

The more pressure you are under, the harder it becomes to stay calm. Small mistakes and suspicious behavior can expose you to the Guards.

PLAY AS GUARDS

Guards must watch the crowd carefully and decide who is acting suspiciously. There are no automatic detections, every arrest depends on what players notice.

Look for strange movement, awkward interactions, nervous behavior, or bad timing before making an arrest.

NPCS MAKE EVERYTHING HARDER

NPCs use the same actions and animations as players, making it difficult to know who is real. Even innocent NPCs can sometimes behave strangely, forcing Guards to think carefully before acting.

Every match becomes a mix of deception, mind games, and chaos.
