Oh Deer

Oh Deer is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game set in a forest. One player is the hunter; up to four others play as deer who must blend in with AI deer and survive the hunt.

As the hunter, you use sound and gadgets to locate player deer while trying to distinguish them from the AI herd. As a deer, you hide, avoid the hunter, and eat to keep hunger at bay; eating at the wrong moment can give away your position.

The match can turn against the hunter: if their sanity runs out, the surviving player deer become the hunters. The game focuses on these role-based rounds across forest maps rather than character levels or unlock-based progression.

Players often enjoy the goofy deer premise and the laughs it creates in friend groups, especially the challenge of spotting player-controlled deer among the AI herd. Reviewers also describe the simple roles as easy to pick up, with moments of tension and sudden role reversals. Some say the fun wears thin after a few sessions, and several mention difficulty finding public lobbies.
