About the Game

Blend in. Deduct. Strike.

Shinobi is a local multiplayer stealth party game for 2–4 players, where deception is your greatest weapon.

Control a ninja disguised among dozens of identical AI characters—all on a single screen. Your mission? Identify which ninjas are player-controlled and take them out before they take you out!

Whether teaming up or going head-to-head, Shinobi delivers tension, trickery, and party-friendly fun. It’s a game of patience, keen observation, and perfectly timed strikes.

Key Features

  • Local Multiplayer for 2–4 Players – Perfect for couch parties, casual meetups, and competitive nights.

  • Social Stealth Gameplay – Blend in with AI ninjas and watch for subtle player tells.

  • PvP and Team Modes – Compete solo or team up with friends to outwit opponents.

  • Casual & Economic Modes — Fixed loadouts or earn credits to buy gear, adding strategic depth.

  • Multiple Game Modes – Keep gameplay fresh with varied and unpredictable rounds.

  • Customizable Loadouts & Rules – Shurikens, smoke bombs, and adjustable settings let you tailor the chaos.

  • Lighthearted but Suspenseful – Calm atmosphere with bursts of mayhem and hilarious tension.

With clean voxel art, tight single-screen design, and a focus on stealth over speed, Shinobi rewards sharp eyes, clever plays, and just the right amount of paranoia.

Stay hidden. Stay sharp.
