Six players wake in an unfamiliar setting, with two secretly infected and the rest innocent. Innocents must figure out whom to trust while the infected hide their identities and hunt the group.
As an innocent, explore three zones, collect useful items and weapons, secure objectives, and decide when to cooperate or compete for resources. Players can discuss suspicions and vote out those they believe are infected as they try to reach the escape hatch.
Infected players gather blood and conceal sabotage while waiting for blackouts, when they can transform into faster, stronger terror forms and attack. Matches combine first-person combat and survival with social deduction.
Many supplied reviews fondly recall playing with friends and the tense, unpredictable social deception: watching others’ behavior, making accusations, forming alliances, and trying to bluff through a blackout hunt. Players also describe memorable, chaotic rounds and an atmospheric horror setting. Some praise is tempered by complaints about the game’s later state and ability to find matches.
