Was wondering if anyone has played this yet? I made a post on my guild forum about it, i'll just copy and paste that here.

I just bought this game, over steam(valves game system). I'm not finished downloading it but it was only 20 bucks.

I haven't played it yet, but it was intriguing enough to throw 20 bucks at it.
It's an online multiplayer game. The idea is that everyone has a single target, and everyone has a single target.
For instance, if the guild was playing, I would spawn, I would get the name of my target, lets say the name of my target is shotie.
Shotie spawns, she also gets a target, lets say her target is ariza.
Ariza spawns, he gets a target, lets say his target is me.
The idea is to hunt down your target, while evading your hunter. You don't know who your hunter is though.
If you kill innocent people(not your target and not your hunter) I gather than you get sent to jail and a 1000 dollar fine. If you kill your hunter, i dont think you get fined, if you kill your target, i think you get money.
There is a kind of cool element though in the game play. In some of the modes, you have certain necessities that you need.
For instance, i think you have 3 meters, you have a sleep meter, a bathing meter, and a food meter, you have to accomodate all these things.
So its kinda cool that you're forced to sleep sometimes.
All this is stuff I've just read about the game, I can't wait to get in there and try it, but I'll let you all know how it is.
