2 May 2024 - Gamers, get ready to experience the thrill of the hunt like never before with Mannequin on Meta App Lab for $19.99. From Fast Travel Games the award-winning studio behind Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice, Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game and more, Mannequin is an adrenaline-pumping asymmetrical VR multiplayer game that pits two elite Agents against a team of three shape-shifting aliens known as Mannequins.

 

In this heart-pounding game of cat and mouse, players will step into the shoes of either an Agent or a Mannequin as they battle for supremacy in a high-stakes showdown. The objective is clear: for the Mannequins, it's to outwit and outmaneuver the Agents while remaining hidden in plain sight, posing as frozen human statues. For the Agents, it's to hunt down and eliminate the elusive Mannequins.

“The mechanic of having to create a pose as a Mannequin to blend in among the time frozen Humans is only possible in VR.” said James Hunt, Game Director for Mannequin. “The unique gameplay is also a mix of two classic games in one: “hide n seek” if you’re an Agent and “tag” if you play as a Mannequin, but it's all amplified when you’re in the thrilling and immersive world of the game.”

 

As an Agent, players will utilize bleeding-edge technology to track down their alien adversaries. Equipped with EMF Readers, Agents can scan their surroundings for any suspicious activity, narrowing down the search for the elusive Mannequins. But they must tread carefully, as a wrong move could leave them exposed and vulnerable to a deadly ambush.

 

As Mannequins, players must rely on stealth and cunning to outsmart the Agents. By blending in with the surrounding environment as frozen human statues, Mannequins can lay low until the perfect moment to strike. With a single touch, they can freeze Agents in place, turning the tide of the game in their favor.

 

Mannequin is innovative and intuitive. With its strategic depth and stunning visuals, it is a must-play title for VR enthusiasts everywhere. Mannequin will be available on SteamVR in the near future, wishlist it now here, and live on the Meta Quest Store in Fall 2024.
