I played mostly solo and it was more fun than I expected. Looks simple first, just collect treasure and don’t get caugt. But soon I was already panicking in dark and lowering difficulty, haha. Bots are challenging, sometimes doing strange things, but it still makes funny moments. I tried online only little bit, looks like with real people it can be more crazy. Still rough in few places, expected for an Early Access, but game has charm.

A great game with an amazing soundtrack as you run away from skeletons or hunt after treasure hunters! Super fun and playful with simple commands and family friendly (though I took a second to find that the space bar was the sprint). I'd love to get my friends to play this with me. I am entertained :D I can see this being a great party game. It's also a great solo game as well. Simple and effective!

Really cute, fun game to play with friends! I played with my boyfriend and had a blast chasing and catching him in all the unique maps.

This is game is just lots of fun! Love the different perks you get from the loot like accelerating, the opponents freezing etc. I've tried it in the single mode for now, looking forward to trying the online play.

I got Hunters in the Dark looking for a new party game to play with my roommates. Being able to play 4-player split screen on one device is huge, we don't have to get everyone to bring their own setup, we just sit down together and go. Running through the different maps and figuring out how the potions and bones work has led to some genuinely funny moments. My one ask for the devs: more progression and power-ups as you keep playing. Right now once you've seen a map there's not a ton pulling you back in for a longer session, but the core chase gameplay is already really solid!
