About Hideout: Face your fears

Immerse yourself in this third person stealth adventure, set in a world devastated by war against an artificial intelligence that brought down society as we knew it. Play as May, a survivor living in a bunker in the mountains that must go on a quest to find medicine for her sickly brother, Jack. In her way, she will meet the robots designed by the AI to hunt down humanity, an assembly of war machines who will not hesitate to kill her on sight. Her only way to survive will be to stay in the shadows and remain undetected, using her environment as cover.

May has a tool that allows her to interact with various devices along the town: opening doors, powering generators, finding hidden information and crafting various objects that will help her along the way by distracting her enemies, revealing them or and even incapacitating them.

In this slow-paced adventure game, the bleak setting and narrative create a tense and oppressive atmosphere that enhances the experience. May’s vulnerability only adds to the feeling of helplessness against the war machines: if she is found, it’s GAME OVER. Will you help May to save her brother and find the secret hidden within this town?

Key Features:


  • Navigate through three different environments: forest, town and laboratory.
  • Face five different types of enemies, each with a different function.
  • Discover the collectibles that hold a secret story.
  • Solve the enigmas of the mysterious town.
  • Create and use four different objects that interact with the enemies.

[h1] Hide from evil robots and don't get caught red handed. AI sucks, you can just run next to enemies without much care or caution and then get through hole or hide behind corner. Idea seems ok, start generators to open door but it's spoiled by bad AI which get stuck sometimes. With better execution game could be so much more robust. Level design is not bad. Visuals ok, nothing to complain much. Overall there're better stealth games out there. [/h1]

This game was a little bit too laggy and I have a 5070Ti intel core i9. The jump animation is so finnicky and the running looks like flash running in slow motion from the flash movie. The robots are easy to trick or they're just dumb. I want my money back

So far it is great. Graphics, controls, trying to hide from robots, use of tools, story line is all good. Seems like a high quality and very interesting game to me so far.

Played this game and like the graphics and sense of exploration. I got stuck at the cabin, and didn't see any inventory or map. But do try this game. Interesting.

It's something to do if you don't have money to spend on AAA games. The story isn't insane or anything but there's something there.
