Fickle Allies

Hide Your Fear

One runs, the rest scare them. A party mode for 2 to 8 friends.

• One player runs. Everyone else watches.
  
• Runner: collect crystals. A new one appears each time.
  
• Watchers: take turns to scare the runner, with one video and one sound per crystal.
  
• After every scare: "Did you get scared?" Be honest, everyone is watching you!
  
• Say YES and your turn ends.
  
• Most crystals without getting scared wins.

2 to 8 players. No bots and no XP: just for fun.

Collect. Deposit. Survive. Escape.

Fickle Allies is a first-person multiplayer game where the only things you can trust completely are your headlamp and the safe zones.

Fickle Allies is a game for everyone:
Just here for laughs? Private mode has your back. Hide jump scares inside crystals, scare your friends and laugh together. Those scares may also help you earn a small amount of XP.
Want to play casually? Collect crystals, deposit them, earn XP and win. You never have to kill anyone.
Here to compete? Chase every achievement, maximum XP and the top of the worldwide leaderboard. Kill, steal, form alliances, and betray your allies when it pays off.

The rules are simple: collect and deposit every crystal, then reach a safe zone to escape.

But first, you need to survive. Choose one of these playstyles or combine several—the way you survive each match is entirely up to you:

• A heartless killer
  
• A trusted companion
  
• A cunning thief
  
• A loyal protector
  
• A patient opportunist
  
• A ruthless lone wolf
  
• An unpredictable wildcard

Form alliances

Create or join a group and coordinate with other players while collecting and depositing crystals. Group members cannot kill one another, but alliances do not protect your crystals from being stolen—and leaving a group has lasting consequences.

Collect all the crystals

Search every corner of the map while keeping an eye on nearby players. Collect crystals, steal them from others, and deposit them in a safe zone. Every crystal must be deposited before anyone can escape.

Join public matches

Compete and cooperate in online multiplayer matches with players from around the world. Work together when it benefits you—or betray others when the opportunity appears.

Play with friends

Create a private game and invite your friends using a private room code. Attach scares to crystals and trigger them when another player collects the trapped crystal.

Explore three distinct locations

Navigate the Weird Mansion, the train interior of Not a Subway, and the Abandoned Facility. Each map offers different routes, hiding places, dangers, and tactical decisions.
