Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op horror players who want voice-based ghost investigation with up to four players
- Players who enjoy changing puzzles and escape routes across randomly generated maps

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a calm investigation game without enemies that grow stronger while a session continues
- Solo players looking for a recommended single-player experience rather than coordination-focused gameplay
- Players who do not want to speak aloud because voice recognition is part of the interaction system
Our take on BE HUNTED
The game trades solo comfort for coordinated tension: voice communication and shared objectives are central, while playing alone is explicitly not recommended. Its randomized maps also sacrifice a fixed, predictable puzzle sequence in favor of changing situations.
What is BE HUNTED?
Be Hunted is a cooperative horror game combining paranormal investigation, escape puzzles, and psychological horror.
Players explore randomly generated maps that begin with a cutscene and present different puzzles, obstacles, and enemy situations. Ghost-hunting tools include EMF readers, spirit boxes, temperature checkers, and Ouija boards. Voice recognition lets ghosts and murderers respond to spoken words. Players can coordinate through voice chat, search for clues and valuables, use traps or stun weapons, and choose whether to escape, perform a ritual to capture a ghost, or hide while the enemy grows stronger. More than 7 enemy types have different ritual requirements, while murderers cannot be captured. After each game, XP unlocks equipment, maps, and lobby furniture.
