How it plays
A dark, scary mode: survivors collect 8 relics with flashlights while a monster hunts them and catches them by touch. A different monster comes each round: werewolf, ghoul, butcher, demon or yokai.
Your flashlight beam briefly stuns the creature and reveals it, but it drains while on and recharges while off (F). The monster gets faster with every relic you collect. There are three rounds.
Maps: Hideout Villa, Midnight Street, Suburbs, Giant’s House and Aqua Park.
Tips
- Don’t keep the light on all the time; switch it on when the creature is close.
- The last relics are the most dangerous, the monster is fast by then.
- Splitting up finds relics faster, but alone you are more vulnerable.
Solo or with friends
You can play it alone at any time: if there are not enough people, bots fill the match (up to 6 players), with skill from easy to pro. It is best with friends in a private room: you get a 4-letter code and a link, your friends join with one click, and you choose the map, the number of bots and their skill.
