Core rules of a match
Summary
At the start of each match, the game assigns you a role automatically — you will be either a Runner or a Monster. A room holds up to sixteen players. Runners win by reaching the elevator; Monsters win by stopping every Runner before that happens.
Playing as a Runner
Tips
Your only job as a Runner is to reach the elevator. The map gives you supplies and environmental features you can use to your advantage.
- Use whatever supplies and environmental cover the map offers.
- Move with other Runners when you can.
Playing as a Monster
Tips
As a Monster your target is anything that moves, and your win condition is stopping every single Runner. Multiple Monsters can coordinate to cover more ground and leave Runners with nowhere to go.
- Coordinate with other Monsters to block routes to the elevator.
- Treat anything moving as a target.
Warnings before you play
WarnThe game itself flags two specific hazards. It is also still in alpha, which means bugs are a known part of the experience right now.
