Propnight is a survival horror online multiplayer game with Prop Hunt-style mechanics[1] developed by FNTASTIC and published by MYTONA. It was released on Steam in November 2021.[2] It is a one-versus-four game in which one player takes on the role of a savage killer and the other four play as survivors with the ability to turn into objects, loosely based on Dead by Daylight.[3] The killer must catch each of the survivors, placing them on chairs to sacrifice them, while the survivors must avoid being caught and repair 5 of the 7 generators in order to gain access to the door to escape.

Production

Propnight was built by FNTASTIC, using Unreal game engine.[4] After a PC open beta between October 15 and October 18, 2021,[5] it was finally released on Steam in November 30 2021.[2] It has support for 15 languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin America), Polish, Russian, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese for the interface and subtitles.

Reception

Propnight has received plenty of praise focusing on the game's improvements to asymmetrical matchmaking gameplay. Rhett Roxl from SirusGaming[6] says that while escapees have been given new shape-shifting abilities, the game's balance hasn't changed. Survivors can disguise themselves as regular objects while staying still, or they can be aggressive and stun the killer by constantly jumping on them to help teammates.[7] Aron Poter, a reviewer from NME[8], pointed out that it takes time to get started with the game, not because the game is difficult to operate or has a poor balance system, but because players need time to get to know the map and the objects they can interact with.[9] They both praised the gaming feature which is survivors can transform into every concrete object that appeared in the scene.

Propnight also contains plenty drawbacks and flaws that are making a bad user's experience. According to Rhett Roxl, the game lacks processing in terms of FPS and motion blur, and that lag and frame drops are more apparent during tense moments.[6] Matthew Lomas from phenixxgaming[10] also pointed out that some of the maps make compromises for the game balance of killers and survivors, thus not every map is the same size. This is different from Dead by Daylight.[11]
