Identity V is an asymmetric horror game where players can choose to play as either a Hunter or one of four Survivors. The Hunter's goal is to capture and eliminate the Survivors, while the Survivors must work together to escape by decoding devices and evading capture. The game is set in a dark, gothic world with a haunting atmosphere that enhances the horror experience.
Survivors: As a Survivor, your primary goal is to decode devices to activate the exit gates and escape the Hunter's clutches. You must work cooperatively with other Survivors, use survival items strategically, and hide to avoid detection. Each Survivor has unique abilities that can aid in the escape.
Hunter: As a Hunter, your mission is to capture and eliminate all Survivors before they can escape. You possess powerful abilities and must use your skills to track, chase, and capture Survivors. The game allows you to choose from a variety of Hunters, each with their own unique abilities and playstyles.
