Hide vs. Seek

Hide vs. Seek is a multiplayer chase game set in a house, where a shape-shifting blob of goo tries to evade a tracking robot. You play as either the Hider or the Seeker in online peer-to-peer multiplayer.

The chase

The Hider sneaks around the house, collecting goo from scattered canisters. It can disguise itself as almost any object, sprint briefly to gain distance and morph into a new disguise, or vaporize a small part of its body to create a smoke screen that leaves gelatinous residue on the Seeker’s ocular unit. If it collects enough goo, the Hider can assimilate and take over the Seeker. If it fails to collect enough, it runs out of energy and the Seeker reclaims the house.

The Seeker must stop the Hider from collecting goo until its energy runs out, or capture it after weakening it. Its squirt gun dilutes the Hider’s goo, while a tracking grenade makes the Hider leave a trail for a short time. A hot-and-cold meter indicates how far away the Hider is.

Characters

• Hider: a sentient blob that gathers goo, disguises itself as household objects and uses evasive abilities to escape.
