Specter Hideout:聽A 1v4 Asymmetric Game.
Specter Hideout is a top-down, asymmetrical multiplayer experience for 2 to 5 players. Inspired by the classic "Ghost Mansion" formula, it pits a team of Hunters against one invisible Specter. Whether you are hunting the specter or "haunting the living", every match is a game of cat-and-mouse where one wrong move means the end.
Choose Your Side
> The Hunters: The flashlight is Your Weapon
As a team of up to four Hunters, your goal is to track down the Specter and eliminate it before your team is picked off one by one.
Flashlight Tactics: Use your beam to reveal the Specter and deal damage. Manage your battery wisely. Once it鈥檚 out, you鈥檙e defenseless!
Haptic Radar: Feel the Specter鈥檚 presence. Use your proximity radar (and controller vibration) to sense when the ghost is closing in.
Revive the Fallen: If a teammate is knocked down, shine your light on them to bring them back. The hunt isn't over until the last one goes out.
> The Specter: Strike when they don't see
Specter Hideout - The Specter: Strike when they don't see
As the lone Specter, you are invisible and fast.
Invisibility & Ambush: You are invisible by default. Stalk the hunters and choose the perfect moment to strike.
Dash & Evade: Use your dash ability to close the gap or escape a light trap.
Beware the Storm: Nature is not on your side. Sudden lightning flashes will temporarily reveal your position to the Hunters!
Key Features
Single-Copy Play (LAN Mode): Only the host needs to own the game! Friends can join your local session for free via mobile devices, tablets, or other PCs on your Wi-Fi. (Planned for the future: play online via Steam P2P.)
Power-Up Strategy: Compete for battery packs to keep your lights on. Sometimes, Hunters can "Supercharge" for extra damage, but if the Specter attacks the battery, they'll heal or drain the Hunters' energy depending on the type.
Six Languages: English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Russian.
Two Maps: Currently, two maps are available to keep things interesting, with possibly more to come in the future if enough interest is sparked about the game.
Customizable Game Balance: Want a challenge or a casual game? Use the Balance Slider to tweak health, speed, and power-up rates. Make the ghost a terrifying boss or a fragile glass canon.
How to Play
Host a Lobby: One player acts as the host (supports controllers if playing like a hunter!).
Join the Hunt: Friends can join via a simple 4-digit room code or by scanning a QR code. (If I manage to make the version of Steam, you may have a lobby system)
Lock In: Select your roles, customize gameplay stats, and start the game.
A Note on Pricing & Development
Specter Hideout is a passion project. The Steam version is free, and you should not be charged for this item in any way or form.
