This is how Propnight tries to reward active players.Īs in DBD, survivors need to repair five cars in the allotted time, performing reaction checks so as not to attract the attention of the maniac, who (again, as in DBD) must find them, injure and carry each one to the Hypnostulus (analogue of the hook) three times. Seven minutes are allotted for one match, but additional seconds are charged for saving a friend and repairing prop cars (such an analogue of generators). If the speed of DBD is influenced by the quickness of the maniac, who sooner or later will find and eliminate all opponents if they do not fulfill the conditions of the match, then try to find a prop. The timer is a very important element of Propnight’s gameplay. To win, the pursuer needs to catch them all, and the pursued need to escape from the level in the allotted time. In Propnight, there is only one hunter (aka a maniac), there are four survivors (hereinafter we will call them that).
Participants in the prop hunt competitions are divided into two camps: some usually act out as armed hunters, others run away from them or hide, turning into inanimate objects of the environment, like mimics in Prey.įntastic changed the formula a little, borrowing core mechanics for prop hunt from another popular game – the asymmetric horror Dead by Daylight.
As was the case with MOBA or Battle Royale, the idea of an independent programmer (his callsign is andrewtheis) formed the basis of an entire subgenre, and for almost ten years it has borne modest fruits: from hide-and-seek modes to online shooters (Call of Duty, Fortnite), to full-fledged games (Prop Hunt, Witch It).
