Murderous Pursuits

Murderous Pursuits is a multiplayer stealth game for 1–8 players, set aboard the HMCS Britannic, a colonial-era ship. You pose as an ordinary passenger while hunting your assigned target, called your Quarry, and avoiding the other players who are hunting you. You can also play solo against bots.

Stalk your Quarry

Use the Quarry Tracker to locate your target and watch the Hunter Indicator for signs that another player is closing in. Blend into the busy passenger environments to keep your exposure low: if you give yourself away, both your Quarry and your Hunter can spot you. Guards also patrol the ship, and if they catch you in the act, they stall you and leave you vulnerable to other hunters.

You can disguise yourself, use flash and counter abilities, and find weapons with higher point values. Each match lets you choose two of eight abilities. You can also select a killer archetype and skin, and choose from perks to adjust your play style; the description does not specify how many perks are available.

Score and compete

The player with the most points at the end of the round wins. Discretion, high-value weapons and quick kills all contribute to your score, while being too cautious can leave you behind and being too bold can give other hunters an opening. You can earn favour by acting discreetly, taking a high-value weapon, striking quickly and dancing over your Quarry’s body.

The game has three modes: Hunt, Free-For-All and Elimination. It also offers custom game options and skill-based matchmaking. You can party with up to seven friends and play together.

The ship and its killers

Matches take place across seven locations aboard the HMCS Britannic, including the decorated Music Hall and the dark corners of the Engine House. The roster includes 16 killers, from the cold and calculating Duchess to the wise-guy Dodger.

You can climb the ranks by pursuing the most kills or the most pies eaten.
