Shadow Stalker

Shadow Stalker is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game in which one player controls The Hunted, a nearly invisible monster with supernatural abilities, while 2–8 other players take the roles of The Hunters, an elite squad sent to kill it.

The hunt

The Hunted uses the shadows to stay difficult to see, while the Hunters rely on their numbers, weapons and gadgets. There is no killfeed, and the game does not announce when a Hunter dies. Proximity voice means the squad hears a player’s last words, then silence; their absence becomes clear when they stop answering.

The Hunted’s powers

• Spectral Distortion: stay nearly invisible, making the monster difficult to shoot.
• Wall Climbing: scale walls, crawl along ceilings and attack from unexpected angles.
• Raise the Dead: reanimate fallen Hunters and NPCs as a horde that hunts the remaining squad.

The Hunters

As a Hunter, you join a squad sent to kill The Hunted. Stick together, keep communicating and watch your flashlight battery as you search for the monster. You can create custom loadouts, use placeable gadgets that give the Hunters an illusion of safety, and, as an Engineer, use the Goo Gun to build a path up walls and reach high ground.
