Part 1: The Story
In the icy depths of Antarctica, a team of specialists embarks on a mission unlike any other. Their destination: an ancient underground temple, rumored to hold secrets that could alter the course of history. This diverse team includes a brilliant scientist, an Italian archaeologist, a seasoned explorer, a hardened mercenary, and a tactical marine. Each member is driven by personal ambitions and professional goals.

As they delve deeper into the temple, they uncover artifacts and clues hinting at a civilization far more advanced than any known to mankind. But lurking in the shadows is an unknown species, and the team soon finds themselves caught in the middle of an ancient alien war, with a rival species arriving to battle it out.

The temple’s inscription reads, “Only the chosen ones may enter.” This cryptic message becomes their guiding light as they navigate the treacherous corridors and chambers. Will they fight one species, both, or choose sides in this interstellar conflict? The choices they make will determine their fate and the fate of the world.

Part 2: The Gameplay
In Hunter vs Prey, players can choose to compete solo, coop, multiplayer and choose to form alliances to achieve their objectives and survive the missions. The game offers a rich blend of exploration, strategy, and combat, set against the backdrop of Mayan, Aztec, and Egyptian cultures.

Players will unlock chambers and tombs, each filled with challenges and rewards.

Part 3: Special Gameplay Features
Characters begin with a set of attributes and can earn XP points to level up as they complete tasks. These points can unlock additional tactical items, bolstering their chances of survival. In Solo mode, players will battle against an AI enemy that targets the biggest threats, so be careful how you bolster each player’s XP.

In cooperative and multiplayer modes, players will have secret objectives that must be met along with exiting the temple to ensure they win the mission. Working as a team, either with fellow players or even possibly one of your enemies, could be the key to survival. The game encourages diverse playstyles, whether you prefer to go it alone, work as a team, or form temporary alliances. Remember, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Will you fight it out alone, work together, or choose a side in this epic battle for survival?

Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure where every decision counts, and only the chosen ones may enter!

Part 4: The Unique Rotating Map Board
Hunter vs Prey features a unique centre rotating map board that ensures no two games are ever the same. At the end of each round, the rooms’ doors randomly lock and unlock, creating unpredictable pathways throughout the map. Will you unlock a door and escape the hunter, or will you find yourself trapped with an alien species intent on your destruction?

Adding to the excitement, the map includes an upper layer with a circular center piece that rotates randomly at the end of every round. This dynamic element can drastically change the game’s landscape. Will the Queen escape and threaten all of mankind? Or will you reach the egg nest in time to destroy her species and save humanity from extinction? Perhaps you’ll seize a viable embryo and sell it to the highest bidder.

The randomness and unpredictability of the gameplay are at the heart of Hunter vs Prey. Every decision, every turn of the board, brings new challenges and opportunities. This is not just a game; it’s an ever-changing adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Get ready to experience a board game like no other—one that you must have in your collection!
