ShadowStalk
ShadowStalk is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where one person plays as a killer monster and the other four play as Shades in a classic game of Cat and Mouse. The Shades have to run around and collect enough keys to escape the hospital and leave without being murdered by the Monster. The shades are able to hide by closing their eyes to stop the light that’s emitting from them. If all four Shades are able to escape in time, they win, but if the Monster is able to kill them all beforehand, he wins.
