We've already talked a bit about Sneak Out on these here pages. The multiplayer stealth game has been anything but quiet on the internet, making all kinds of noise as top streamers like Annie Fuchsia and PEGTV have been putting it through its paces in the super-successful stress tests. We've already seen giddy streamers running around a haunted castle hiding and sneaking away from a pursuant Hunter, but let's dig into some of the unique mechanics that make these monsters so threatening.
The premise of Sneak Out is simple: at the start of a match, six players (who are Penguins, because why not?) initiate a ritual in one of the many eclectic rooms of a haunted castle, with one of the players getting transformed into a Hunter. The other players must then run, hide, and set traps—whether for the Hunter or each other—as they seek to escape the level.
