NPC or PLAYER

In NPC or Player, deception is key. One player becomes the Hunter, the rest must hide — pretending to be NPCs in a world full of real AI. The Hunter’s goal: find and eliminate all real players. But there's a twist. The Hunter has only three lives. If they shoot an innocent NPC, they lose one. Lose them all, and it’s game over. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. Hiders win by surviving five minutes without being discovered. The map is filled with NPCs following simple, repetitive routines: walking, stopping, turning, interacting. Hiders must mimic this perfectly. Any human slip — hesitation, wrong path, off-timing — could be fatal. The Hunter must rely on sharp observation. No radar, no hints. Just instinct. Spot what’s off. A player trying too hard to blend in might actually stand out more. But hesitate too long, and time runs out. It’s not about speed. It’s about nerves, precision, and psychological warfare. Hide in plain sight, or hunt with care.
