A match will have one player as the Hunter and have the rest be Rebels. The Hunter wins if they capture all Rebels within the time limit. That being said, the Rebel team wins as long as they aren't all caught!

Rebels Can Escape Once After Being Caught

Obscured Vision & Stamina Reduced

After Version 2.4, the Hunter's field of vision become obscured so they won't see the paths the Rebels take to hide. Stamina consumed by the Hunter is also greatly reduced!
