Mind Hunt

Mind Hunt is a multiplayer game set in a future where androids are essential to humanity. A virus called MindHunt makes infected androids sentient; they become known as the Mindhunted and seek to spread the virus to create a new form of life and gain recognition and rights. You play in a virtual reality simulation built by Serana, a Mindhunted android who is training to hide her identity and survive among agents and androids.

Three teams

Players are assigned to one of three teams: Agents, Androids or Mindhunted. Agents try to identify and permanently shut down every Mindhunted android, but shutting down an uninfected android causes the agent to be shut down as well. Androids conceal the Mindhunted, though they cannot tell which androids are infected. Mindhunted players complete tasks around the map before time runs out while avoiding the agents.

Winning and deception

The Mindhunted and Androids win together if the Mindhunted finish all their tasks within the time limit. Agents win if they catch every Mindhunted player or the time limit expires. Mindhunted players can use environmental elements to blend in, including malfunctioning electrical boxes that create large smoke explosions and calling other androids to pretend to be Mindhunted in specific places.

Serana's simulation

After becoming sentient, Serana is distressed by the agents patrolling public places and fears being discovered. She creates software that simulates agents and androids in varied environments, then possesses an android in the simulation to practise surviving undetected. She stays in her hideout and trains until she is confident in her skills.
