The verdict

A creative ghost-vs-hunter prop hunt with a midnight role flip, best with a group of friends. Skip it if you want public matchmaking, since few players remain and launch errors are common.

Great for

Groups of friends wanting chaotic prop-hunt fun in private lobbies, with bots filling the gaps

Main risk

Almost nobody plays online, so you get bots, and Epic/EOS launch errors can stop the game starting
