About the Game

TRUST NO ONE

The Impostor doesn't just steal your appearance... it can steal your voice.

The Impostor is a single-player and multiplayer psychological horror experience built around deception, paranoia, and survival.

You are trapped inside a mysterious facility.

To survive, you must complete objectives, craft Anti-Virus bullets, and uncover the Impostor hiding among you.

But be careful...

It's watching you.

It's listening to you.

And when the time is right...

It becomes one of you.

It Becomes You

The Impostor is no ordinary monster.

At any moment, it can use its Shape Shift ability to transform into a random player.

And it doesn't just copy your appearance...

  • It steals your voice.

  • It steals your name.

  • It steals your outfit.

  • It perfectly mimics your appearance.

Even worse...

Throughout the match, it can replay real voice recordings captured from the in-game voice chat.

It can call for help using your friend's voice.

Lure you into a trap.

Turn your team against each other.

You can no longer trust only what you see...

You can't even trust what you hear.

Complete Objectives

Restore critical systems, perform experiments, and complete objectives throughout the facility.

Every completed objective brings your team one step closer to survival.

More importantly...

Each objective rewards you with your most powerful weapon:

Anti-Virus Bullets.

Every bullet matters.

Because they are the only way to permanently stop the Impostor.

Killing It Isn't Enough

The Impostor has two separate health pools.

Physical Health

When its Physical Health reaches zero, it is only temporarily defeated.

It will return shortly after.

Virus Health

Virus Health is permanent.

Only Anti-Virus Bullets can reduce it.

If you truly want to defeat the Impostor...

You must eradicate the virus completely.

Otherwise...

It will always come back.

Millions of Possible Map Layouts

No two matches play the same.

The facility is designed with millions of possible room layouts and route combinations.

Objective locations, pathways, and exploration routes create a fresh experience every match.

Forget memorizing the map.

Adapt to your surroundings.

Because the Impostor may learn the new layout before you do.

Trust No One

Who is real?

Who is the Impostor?

There is no reliable way to know.

The player standing beside you could really be your teammate...

Or it could be the Impostor wearing their face, voice, and identity.

Trusting the wrong person may be your last mistake.
