A 3 minute tag-battle with extra twists! Play as a Monster who must lock everyone into jail before time runs out, or as a Human who must avoid capture and bail their teammates out of trouble. Invite your friends and family to play this speedy game of cat and mouse - or rather, Monsters and Humans!
Players take on the roles of either Humans (3 players) or Monsters (1 player) in this 3-minute "tag-battle" game. Humans must avoid capture and bail out their teammates, while the Monster aims to lock all Humans into jail before time runs out.
Humans employ tactics like hiding, running, and using their lanterns to stun the Monster and evade capture. In contrast, Monsters leverage unique abilities such as slipping through walls or detecting footprints to track down and imprison the Humans. This asymmetrical design creates an engaging cat-and-mouse dynamic between the two teams.
Each Monster character possesses distinct skills and perks that alter their playstyle. Similarly, Humans can equip different lanterns that provide various stat boosts and abilities. This customization allows players to experiment with diverse strategies and find playstyles that suit them.
Matches last only 3 minutes, maintaining an intense pace and encouraging players to jump back in for repeated sessions. The rapid gameplay makes this title well-suited as a party game or casual multiplayer experience.
If the game cannot find enough human players, it will automatically add CPU-controlled characters to the match. Reviews indicate these CPU opponents are surprisingly capable, providing a decent challenge even when playing solo or with limited human players.
Participating in matches earns in-game currency that players can use to unlock new Monsters, Humans, and lantern abilities, giving them an incentive to continue playing and exploring different gameplay options.
