Hide 'N Seek!

Abstract

Hide 'N Seek! is a 3D action game built around the familiar hide-and-seek format. You can take the role of the seeker or the hider, making it suitable for players who want short, simple rounds with different objectives rather than a conventional combat-focused action game.

How it plays

As a hider, the aim is to stay out of sight by using the surroundings as cover. Possible hiding places include cars, office desks, water, hay piles, cornfields and a boss’s office. The game also allows players to construct shelters, so choosing a hiding position is part of the round rather than a purely passive task.

As the seeker, you search the setting for the other characters. Hiders can also push others into the seeker’s field of vision, adding a way to interfere with the search. The two roles give the game a different rhythm depending on whether you are looking for movement or trying to avoid being noticed.

Presentation and audience

The game uses 3D environments and straightforward controls centred on movement, hiding and searching. It may suit casual players who recognise the traditional playground game and want a light action title with changing locations and roles. It is less suited to anyone looking for a story-driven campaign, detailed combat system or deep character development; those elements are not central to the supplied description.
