Our take on Murderous Pursuits
The game’s social stealth depends on reading crowded passenger spaces, but each match limits players to two abilities. That choice makes ability selection a constraint: a preferred tactic may require leaving another option behind.
What is Murderous Pursuits?
Murderous Pursuits is a Victorian stealth game where players hunt assigned targets while avoiding other hunters and witnesses.
Players can pose as ordinary passengers, use trackers and indicators to locate targets or threats, and choose when to attack. Exposure rises when a killer fails to blend in; guards can interrupt an attack and leave the player vulnerable. Rounds award points for kills, discreet play, and using high-value weapons. The game includes Hunt, Free-For-All, and Elimination modes, seven locations, and a cast of sixteen killers. Players select two abilities per match from a set of eight, and can play solo against bots or online with up to eight players, including custom games and parties.
