Theme and Setting

Hunters vs Clones is a thrilling multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) that reimagines the classic game of hide-and-seek. Players join one of two asymmetric teams—Hunters, elite SWAT operatives, or Clones, shape-shifting alien invaders. The Hunters must locate and eliminate the Clones within a limited time, while Clones evade detection by transforming into any prop in their environment. Each match is a tense, fast-paced battle of deception, observation, and timing, set in a highly detailed industrial warehouse environment.
