Midnight Manhunt

About the Game

When the clock strikes MIDNIGHT, the MANHUNT is on!

Midnight Manhunt is a turn-based tactics game set in a cyberpunk city ruled by an ominous AI that tracks every footstep. No one is safe from the gazing eye of LUCi. 

Step into the shoes of a squad of four grid runners, trying to defend the city from collapsing into Anarchy. Every night at midnight, the ghosts move out to sabotage and overthrow the reign of LUCi. They move in the shadows, swift and silent.

Only by mastering your Grid Runners’ unique abilities and using sharp deduction can you track your enemies’ paths and strategically block their escape. Use your arsenal of tracing skills to deduct the intruder's paths and position yourself intelligently to block exit routes and slowly trap the enemy. 

Mind games

Stay vigilant, as the ghosts also have some aces up their sleeves and will strike back. An overeager and foreseeable attack can quickly backfire and a flank for the ghosts to slip through.

Intel is key

Information is your most valuable asset in Midnight Manhunt, but scarce and hard to come by. Combine all sources of intel and carefully time your actions, to acquire information when it's most beneficial. Every clue could be the difference between victory and disaster. But be aware of false leads to come out victorious in this high-stakes mind game of pursuit and deception.

Deception is your only weapon

Playing as a ghost requires a completely different approach. Outnumbered and lightly equipped, you must use your wits to move unpredictably, lay false trails and try to trick your pursuers into wrong assumptions to buy precious time to survive the night.

A tragic story

Beneath the tactical gameplay lies a sad story of love and loss. Uncover the origins of the city AI sovereignty in two fully fletched single player campaigns where you can experience the gameplay and story from both sides.

Endless replayability

At the core, the whole game and its mechanics are designed as a sandbox. While the campaign offers a thrilling plot and lots of variation in mission structure, available tools and different opponents with different strategies (CPU behavior), the best way to experience Midnight Manhunt is the sandbox mode, where all the mechanics come together. It's the ultimate test of your Grid Runner or Ghost skills with custom difficulty settings to provide a long lasting challenge.
