❤ Unique Multiplayer Premise

Each round, the game randomly assigns you another player's character as your "quarry" - your target to hunt down and eliminate. Simultaneously, another player is hunting you as their quarry. This creates an intense dynamic where you constantly switch between being the hunter and the hunted, never knowing who is after you at any given moment.

❤ Stealth and Disguise

To successfully eliminate your quarry, you must rely on stealth and disguise. Running around openly wielding weapons will get you arrested by security guards and cameras. Instead, you must blend in with the other NPCs, navigate cautiously, and wait for the perfect moment to strike. This encourages a careful, strategic playstyle where you must constantly be aware of your surroundings and potential threats.

❤ Weapon and Economy System

The game features a dynamic weapon and economy system. Each weapon has a randomized, constantly fluctuating price. You earn money by successfully eliminating your quarry, but using more expensive weapons can earn you more. This creates interesting decisions, as you must weigh the risks and rewards of different weapon choices.

❤ Character Needs Management

You must also manage your character's basic needs, such as hunger, thirst, hygiene, and fatigue. Neglecting these needs can severely incapacitate or even kill your character. This adds an extra layer of strategy, as you must balance hunting your quarry with tending to your own survival.

❤ Emergent Gameplay

The unique gameplay elements, combined with the ship's detailed environments, create a rich, emergent experience. Each match plays out differently as you and other players creatively use the environment, disguises, and weapons to outmaneuver and eliminate your targets. The constant tension and paranoia as you navigate the ship leads to many memorable, unpredictable moments.

❤ Multiplayer Focus

While the game does feature a single-player component, the focus is clearly on the multiplayer experience. The most engaging and rewarding gameplay stems from the dynamic interactions with other human players, as you form alliances, betray one another, and engage in tense cat-and-mouse chases. The multiplayer mode is where the game's unique premise truly shines.
