In the spooky hide and seek game 'Badblood,' two players chase each other through abandoned, darkened corn fields, essentially trying to catch and kill each other.
The game lets players pick from four different characters including "mechanic" and "hitwoman." Each character comes with its own set of advantages and equipment. The hide and seek game features a split screen so that neither player can see the other in their own view. They can peek over at the other player's side of the screen to attempt to determine their location, but since the players' geographic orientations don't correspond, only excellent spacial reasoning will aid in finding their opponent. If a player moves too quickly, the grass around them will rustle and if they're about to strike, a dark shadow will appear on their prey's screen.
Overall, Badblood is a tense, macabre hide and seek game.
