## About Hide and Shriek

Hide and Shriek is a 2017 free-to-play first-person action game where two players face off in a haunted setting, each trying to trigger enough scares to win. Players set traps, craft spells using randomized runes, and manage limited resources while leveraging an invisibility mechanic that creates tense cat-and-mouse moments. Reviewers highlight the scare-chain system that rewards bold plays over passive play, and players describe the competitive atmosphere as both eerie and funny. The current Steam rating sits at 81% positive from over 2,000 reviews, and the short-burst session structure makes it well-suited for quick matches.
