Each round sets one player as the Shadow and the others as Light Bears. The Light Bears try to avoid infection and reach the Light Pool before time runs out; the Shadow wins by infecting them all.
Infected Light Bears become Shadow Bears and help hunt the remaining players. Light Bears can hide in scattered spots and use a dash to escape, while Shadow Bears can teleport around the map and create a wall to block pursuers’ targets.
Players take part in the chase from first person as bears, while most Shadows use a third-person view. Shadows have distinct abilities, and the full-game DLC unlocks additional Shadows and customization options.
In the supplied reviews, players appreciate the cute, atmospheric character and art design and the hide-and-seek concept. One reviewer found the enemy abilities and how to counter them difficult to understand, while another lamented that few people seemed to be playing.
