About Intruders: Hide and Seek

Intruders: Hide and Seek was made by Tessera Studios and released on Steam in September 2019; it can be played on a monitor or in VR.

You are Ben, the eldest of the Richter family's children. While the family is on holiday at a country house, you witness three dangerous intruders slip in and take your parents hostage. With your parents restrained and your sister hiding, you are stuck in the house with them, and you have to find a way to save your family while working out who the three are and what they want.

Ben is a defenceless child, so you cannot run away or fight. The play is stealth and exploration: moving quietly through dark living rooms, stairways and a hidden control room, watching the intruders' torches and keeping out of their sight. The store describes it as a nerve-wracking hostage drama mixing thriller, mystery and horror.

It suits players who like hide-and-seek horror against human threats, and it is short and cheap enough for a single evening, especially in VR.
