Murderous Pursuits is a kill-or-be-killed Victorian stealth-em-up for 1-8 players in which you must hunt and kill your quarry before your hunters do the same to you, all while avoiding witnesses.

Set aboard the HMCS Britannic, a Victorian passenger vessel, Murderous Pursuits casts each player as both hunter and hunted. You must eliminate an assigned target while another player is trying to find and kill you.
Stalk your quarry through crowds of passengers, act inconspicuously, and avoid drawing attention from witnesses and guards. Use a tracker to locate your target and watch for signs that your own hunter is nearby.
Choose weapons and abilities such as disguises, flashes, and counters, then time your attacks to balance points, discretion, and risk. Matches offer several modes across seven locations, with options to play online, with bots, or in custom games.
Reviews often praise the unusual social-stealth premise and the tension of tracking a target while trying not to expose yourself. Some players find matches entertaining with friends or bots, but many report difficulty finding other players, which they say undermines the experience. Other recurring complaints include connection and private-lobby problems, bugs, and repetitive play.
