How it feels
A tense game of hide-and-seek where you must blend in with bots and avoid the Matriarch, balancing paranoia and dark comedy.

What players say
Players love the premise of hiding and blending in with bots, but the multiplayer is dead and matchmaking takes ages. Long-time players say development stalled in 2024, and while it is great fun with the right group, without friends it is unplayable.
