About Murderous Pursuits
✦ AI summary
Stalk and assassinate your target while evading other killers in this Victorian-themed multiplayer stealth game where blending in with passengers is just as deadly as finding the right weapon. With up to 8 players competing across disguises, abilities, and strategic kills, the smartest and most careful killer claims victory.
Murderous Pursuits is a kill-or-be-killed stealth-em-up multiplayer game for 1-8 players. Smartly stalk your target – the Victorian’s call that Quarry - and wait for just the right moment to pounce on your prey. But be careful not to give yourself away to the other players hunting you!
Act like an unassuming passenger to avoid revealing yourself, locate high-scoring weapons, and stalk and kill your targets in a manner that befits your station as a 'right dodgy villain'.
The Best – And Smartest - Killer Wins
Gain the highest number of points by the end of the round to win. Optimize your points by finding higher value weapons and keeping your exposure low, all while scoring glorious kills. Be too careful and you’ll fall behind. Be too bold and other hunters will take advantage.
Employ a variety of abilities, including disguise, flash, and counter, to outmanoeuvre your adversaries and carry out your diabolical plan.
Track and Avoid
Use the Quarry Tracker to locate your target. Keep an eye on the Hunter Indicator to avoid getting killed. But beware as your Quarry may be watching too.
Keep your cool and use the busy passenger environments to your advantage by hiding in plain sight. Forget to blend in and you’ll raise your exposure, revealing yourself to your Quarry, and your Hunter.
Watch Out For The Guards
Guards are on board to keep the passengers safe. Beware: they are on the lookout for killers. Anyone caught in the act will be stalled and left open to attack from other hunters.
Take your pick from a line-up of sixteen nefarious killers – each as deadly as the next. From the cold and calculating Duchess to the wise-guy Dodger, it is your choice of which version of evil you feel will serve you best.
Prove Yourself
Climb the ranks to become number 1 in the world for most number of kills... or most number of pies eaten!

Each match revolves around hunting down an assigned target while simultaneously evading the player assigned to eliminate you.

At its core, Murderous Pursuits thrives on its social stealth mechanics. Unlike many competitive multiplayer games that emphasize reflexes and firepower, this title asks players to blend into crowds of non-player characters who roam the ship’s corridors and grand halls. Acting too suspiciously—running excessively, drawing weapons openly, or staring down your target—can expose you and result in penalties or vulnerability. Success depends on studying body language, tracking movement patterns, and choosing the ri…2 found this helpful
Great game to play with a group of people. I am sure this game was very fun when it had a natural active player base.1 found this helpful

A fun multiplayer game where blending into the crowd is just as important as getting the kill. Every match is full of mind games and tense moments as you try to outsmart both your target and the player hunting you. Even with bots it stays surprisingly entertaining.
