Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Joystick (bottom-left) | Move in any direction. Diagonal movement is never faster than straight movement. |
| SPRINT (hold) | Run faster. Drains stamina and the Seeker can hear you from 230 units away. |
| SNEAK (Hiders, tap to toggle) | Move at half speed, silently, and you are only visible from 70 % of the normal distance. |
| Drag on the right half of the screen | Aim. The Seeker's view cone follows the drag even while standing still. |
| REVEAL (Seeker) | Lights up when a Hider has been in your cone for 0.6 seconds. Press it to reveal them. |
| BEACON (Hiders, hold) | Inside the Beacon's ring, hold for one second to activate it and rescue revealed teammates. |
| Pause (top-left) | Pause, restart or return to the menu. The game also pauses when you switch apps. |
Frequently asked questions
How do the Hiders win?
Either the four-minute clock runs out with at least one Hider still free, or the last free Hider activates the Beacon. Activating the Beacon while teammates are revealed rescues them and gives everyone three seconds of protection.
How does the Seeker win?
Reveal every Hider before time runs out. A Hider must be inside your view cone, within range, not behind a wall, and not deep in a bush (bushes only hide a Hider until you come very close). Keep them in sight for a moment until REVEAL lights up.
Why does the Beacon flame change colour?
The flame tells the Hiders how far away the Seeker is: gold means the Beacon is open, orange means the Seeker is guarding it. The Hider HUD shows the same information as the "Beacon watch" gauge.
The settings panel says "Cloud: offline" or "not signed in". Is something wrong?
No. The game works fully offline. The cloud line only reports whether the anonymous identity used by future online features could be created. It needs an internet connection the first time; after that it stays signed in.
I reinstalled the game and lost my unlocks.
Progress (matches, wins, unlocked outfits) is stored on your device only and is removed when you uninstall. Cloud sync of progress is planned together with online play.
There is no sound.
Check the Sound switch on the main menu, then your device's ringer/silent switch and media volume. On iPhone, the silent switch mutes game audio.
The game runs slowly or the controls feel laggy.
Close other apps and make sure the phone is not in a battery-saver mode that limits performance. The game targets 60 frames per second on phones from the last five years or so. Tell us your phone model if it keeps happening.
Can I play with friends?
Not yet. The first release is single-player against AI. Local Wi-Fi and online play are in development.
