Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is being released in Early Access so it can be developed alongside the community. While the core gameplay experience is already playable, we want to gather feedback from real players regarding balance, maps, weapons, game modes, and the overall player experience. Community feedback will help shape the game before its full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 3–5 months. However, the exact duration may vary depending on community feedback, feature development, and the overall progress of the project.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the game with additional maps, weapons, gameplay features, balance improvements, user interface enhancements, and other content requested by the community. The full version aims to provide more content, a more polished experience, and greater overall stability.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the game's core features, including the 1v1 modes and the Prop Hunt game mode. The game is fully playable, but some planned features, content additions, and improvements are still in development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game may increase after Early Access as additional content and features are added. Any pricing changes will be communicated to the community in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback plays an important role in the development of the game. Players will be able to share feedback, report issues, suggest new features, and participate in discussions through our Discord server. Player feedback will be actively considered when making development decisions.”

About This Game

Every duel tells a different story

Enter a competitive first person shooter where every duel comes down to skill. Challenge other players in intense 1v1 matches where no round feels the same.

At the beginning of each round, both players receive the same randomly selected weapon. There are no loadouts and no advantages to buy. Victory depends on your ability to master every weapon and adapt to changing situations on the fly.

Maps are designed with multiple routes and tactical options, giving you the freedom to approach each encounter in your own way. Special items such as grenades, smoke bombs, and toxic gas are limited throughout the match. Once used, they are gone for the rest of the game, making every choice matter.

Success requires more than accurate aim. Reading your opponent, managing resources, and making the right decisions at the right moment can be just as important as landing the winning shot.

Looking for something less competitive? Jump into Prop Hunt with friends and experience a completely different side of the game. Disguise yourself as everyday objects, hide in plain sight, and try to fool the seekers in matches of up to six players.

Whether you are competing for victory or playing for fun, there is always another match waiting!

Key Features

Competitive 1v1 Combat

Challenge players in intense one-on-one battles where skill, timing, positioning, and game sense determine the outcome.

Randomized Weapons Every Round

Both players receive the same randomly selected weapon each round. Adapt quickly, master the entire arsenal, and prove your versatility.

Dynamic Damage System

Master a damage system built around accurate shot placement. Every body part has unique damage behavior, allowing you to eliminate enemies with critical hits or gain the upper hand by disabling their mobility and combat effectiveness.

Fair and Skill-Based Gameplay

No weapon loadouts or pay-to-win advantages. Victory belongs to the player who performs better under pressure.

Strategic Resource Management

Grenades, smoke bombs, and toxic gas canisters do not replenish between rounds. Once used, they're gone for the remainder of the match.

Multiple Tactical Approaches

Every map supports different strategies and playstyles. Control key areas, create ambushes, force engagements, or outmaneuver your opponent through clever positioning.

High Skill Ceiling

Improve your aim, movement, weapon mastery, resource management, and decision-making to gain the upper hand against increasingly skilled opponents.

Track Your Progress

Track your performance, discover your strengths, and see your skills evolve over time. Analyze your playstyle, review your achievements, and set new personal records as you improve. Your journey is always recorded. Every victory, every challenge, every milestone.

Endless Match Variety

Changing weapons, different opponents, evolving tactics, and limited resources ensure that no two matches feel exactly alike.
