Description

In Dystopian: the manhunt, you and up to three friends take on the roles of special agents in the Dystopia Police Department, tasked with solving a murder case in a futuristic megalopolis controlled by rival corporations. With a playtime of just 60 minutes, this cooperative game is easy to learn and fun to play, as you work together to investigate numerous locations, gather hints and leads, and track down the culprit. The city of Dystopia is full of intriguing locations to explore, from districts to suburbs, where you'll meet people, gain resources, and progress your investigation. As you navigate the city, you'll use a combination of worker placement, network building, and push your luck mechanics to manage your resources and stay one step ahead of the suspect. You'll roll dice to allocate resources such as warrants, attack, evade, interact, and analyze, which will help you deal with encounters, advance your agent's abilities, and ultimately catch the guilty suspect. The game is divided into two stages: the Search, where you'll work to discover the identity of the culprit, and the Chase, where you'll pursue the suspect through the city, trying to seize them before they escape. With its unique blend of mechanics and futuristic setting, Dystopian: the manhunt is a thrilling adventure that's perfect for fans of science fiction and murder mysteries.
