A unique hide-and-seek game for PC
Peekaboo is a premium action release developed by Redaster Studio for PC. It is an online multiplayer title that features gameplay inspired by an old children’s game. In it, players will face off in a battle of hide-and-seek but with a twist to the gameplay — it’s designed to be more action-oriented and wacky.
Featuring a similar theme and presentation to titles like Gang Beasts or Pummel Party, Peekaboo is a party game that can be played and enjoyed with friends and family. It supports up to 16 participants and offers various maps with unique environments.
A twist on an old children’s game
Hide-and-seek is an old children’s game that you played growing up. It allows you to make new friends with kids and just have some fun. The idea of such kid activities seems so far-fetched today but the concept has not been totally lost on people as it can live on in some way or form through video games. This is exactly what Peekaboo has managed to achieve.
It is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game wherein you either take on the role of a prop or a hunter in what is essentially a large-scale cat-and-mouse chase. The former has the ability to let you turn into any object you touch, while the latter equips you with special guns to help you catch hiders within a limited time. Everything is designed with low-poly graphics for a distinct look.
This hide-and-seek game currently has 10 maps available, with the option to set the time to either day or night conditions. There is even a trading system in place that lets you exchange cards for a map you don’t have yet with other players. There are some game balance issues that can make the overall experience feel one-sided at times and tend to favor props more than hunters.
Come out, wherever you are
Making a video game based on an old children’s playtime activity is not something that most players would expect, but that is what Peekaboo did. It takes the concept of hide-and-seek and turns it into a fun and wacky experience with its own unique sense of style and gameplay. It provides a hit of nostalgia for those who grew up enjoying it.
