Buy Maniac: Hunt or Be Hunted PC key

Maniac: Hunt or Be Hunted is a first-person multiplayer horror game in which one player becomes the Maniac and the others work together to survive. Players start in random locations with the same goal: stay alive. The Maniac hunts the survivors, who can outsmart, trap or fight the killer using scattered items and improvised tactics.

The abandoned village

The game takes place in an abandoned village surrounded by dense forest. Its residents have mysteriously vanished, leaving empty homes and eerie remnants. With each passing day the atmosphere grows darker, and each night brings a new survival test as an unknown killer lurks in the shadows.

Survivor tactics

Survivors can search for weapons, set traps, use distractions or sneak through the darkness. They can also try to psychologically outplay one another. Trust matters, as does knowing when to rely on your team.

The Maniac and fear

The room creator becomes the Maniac, who has unique abilities. One ability temporarily highlights all survivors so the Maniac can see their locations and plan an ambush. Survivors can panic in certain conditions, such as hearing footsteps, finding corpses or being left alone; fear makes them noisier and easier to track.

Multiplayer roles

The Maniac and survivors play as distinct characters, adding unexpected twists to each match. While the Maniac tries to eliminate the survivors, they must cooperate to stay alive. The game uses realistic sound design and haunting environments to build tension.
