Propnight

***Propnight*** is a 1vs4 multiplayer physics-based prop hunt mixed with classic horror survival game developed by FNTASTIC and published by MYTONA. It was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows on November 30, 2021.

## Gameplay

This game has 4 survivors trying to escape 1 killer. You can choose between 8 different survivors, of which have unique items/abilities and perks to choose from. There are 8 killers with completely different abilities and some with two classes. So playstyle varies with your choice.

The killer wins if all 4 survivors are killed or time runs out, while the survivors win if at least 1 survivor escapes. Only after 5 out of 7 propmachines are repaired, the exit doors are able to be unlocked. After being unlocked they enable the survivors to escape through them.

To kill a survivor, a killer must knock them onto their knees with enough damage, then pick them up and carry them to the nearest hypnochair. If the survivor is not freed by another player before their time runs out they will die. They only have two chances of being saved, the third time they got sat they will die. Keep and eye on your teammates!

Survivors can struggle to escape a killer’s arms before the killer puts them at a hypnochair or can be helped out by another survivor. When freed from the chair a survivor will be filled to 20 hp and gain a 5 seconds immortality buff, allowing them to survive with 1 hp. A survivor, when on his knees, can crawl slowly, and, after a set amount of time passes, he is able to get back up, regaining 60 hp. Their teammates can help them up too, but the downed survivor will only regen 20 hp this way.

### Survivors

Survivors can turn into a prop by selecting one nearby to copy it. In this form you can roll on the floor and double jump. Survivors can even smack into the killer's head, both in human, but also in prop form, to momentarily stun him and drop some coins, and, if the killer is carrying a survivor, it will force him to drop the survivor with 20 hp. The killer can also be stunned by slamming a door or a wooden pallet on them.

The survivors need to find propmachines and repair 5 out of 7. You simply hold the interact button (F for pc) and occasionally do a quicktime event, also called reaction check. This will require you to press a button (space for pc) while a marker on a gauge is on the highlighted segment. The end of this segment has a short mark where ending there will give a bigger boost to the repair bar and also drop a lot of coins. If you fail the quicktime event, a little progress will be lost, and the killer will be alerted! But if you successfully clear it, then you will be rewarded with some coins. You will also receive coinswhen you finish repairing a propmachine.

When you start the game, you are able to choose 1 itemout of 2 random choices, both with common rarity. With 1000 coins you can get another item by opening a chest. You are able to choose 1 of 2 items. You can open the same chest over and over (as long as you have more than 1000 coins) and hold up to 3 items at the same time.

### Killers

The map is the first thing you will know when starting a match. As a killer the map is extremely important. Some killers will work better in open spaces and other on close encounters, it depends on your skill and choice at selection time. Note that survivors will know which killer you are playing, so expect them to adapt their gameplan to counter the killer playstyle.

To win the game killers have to kill all 4 survivors or wait for the timer to run out. Killers will need to knock survivors onto their knees and carry them to a hypnochair. if they dont breck free or after being caught 3 times, they will die, making the killer one step closer to victory. Killers must be carefull because survivors have items to stun, slow or escape a chase. They also can get stunned by a survivor hitting their head. Killers can also break propmachines that were been repaired by survivors before there are completly repaired. Every Killer has unique abilities.

### Chasing

During a chase between the killer and a survivor, killers gain speed gradually with the Hunt ability. Hunt stacks 3 times. As a survivor try to use different props and their mechanics, items and your surroundings to your advantage. Run away, distract, hide or stun the killer by jumping on his head!

Survivors receive a speed boost when they are damaged, also, their stamina bar is regained. As a survivor be aware of this, since the stamina bar allows you to sprint faster than the killer can chase, allowing you to gain distance and prepare your getaway.

### Camping

Firstly, if a killer is camping a nearly complete propmachine, simply focus on others. This is why there are more propmachines than the requirement to progress. (for exit doors, there are always 2).

If a killer is camping a captured player and they are not rescued before time runs out, they will die, even if it is their first capture. Thankfully, there is a generous amount of time, 2 minutes, before they are out, so if there is no chance, use this time to get a lot of work done. If the killer is visible, then one option is to stun them by hitting with a prop, or blinding them with a yellow jar. You can also use an ancient book for a sneaky save.

In the worst case scenario, the rescuer can try to sacrifice themselves and let the other player run away, to spread out lives. I must emphasize you have a lot of time, and the survivors can get so much done if the killer plays this way.
