About This Game

Collect. Deposit. Survive. Escape.

Fickle Allies is a first-person multiplayer game where the only things you can trust completely are your headlamp and the safe zones.

The rules are simple: collect and deposit every crystal, then reach a safe zone to escape.

But first, you need to survive. Choose one of these playstyles or combine several—the way you survive each match is entirely up to you:

• A heartless killer
  
• A trusted companion
  
• A cunning thief
  
• A loyal protector
  
• A patient opportunist
  
• A ruthless lone wolf
  
• An unpredictable wildcard

Form alliances

Create or join a group and coordinate with other players while collecting and depositing crystals. Group members cannot kill one another, but alliances do not protect your crystals from being stolen—and leaving a group has lasting consequences.

Collect all the crystals

Search every corner of the map while keeping an eye on nearby players. Collect crystals, steal them from others, and deposit them in a safe zone. Every crystal must be deposited before anyone can escape.

Join public matches

Compete and cooperate in online multiplayer matches with players from around the world. Work together when it benefits you—or betray others when the opportunity appears.

Play with friends

Create a private game and invite your friends using a private room code. Attach scares to crystals and trigger them when another player collects the trapped crystal.

Explore three distinct locations

Navigate the Weird Mansion, the train interior of Not a Subway, and the Abandoned Facility. Each map offers different routes, hiding places, dangers, and tactical decisions.
