Overview of the Escape Action Game 'PICK A BOO'
Your teammate has been defeated by enemies, leaving only their head behind.
Do you rush in to save them with your belongings, or head straight to the truck? You have only 30 seconds left.
'PICK A BOO' is a roguelike co-op escape action game for up to six players.
Set in a world where humans have vanished, players take on the role of mannequins working as 'midnight movers,' infiltrating dangerous stages to rescue comrades facing disposal.
Using magnetic force to collect furniture and items, players must evade enemy pursuit while loading cargo and escaping to the truck.
Will you prioritize loading more items, rescuing fallen allies, or ensuring a safe escape? Split-second decisions determine the success or failure of your escape.
Experience the intense thrill of growing stronger with each run—but losing everything upon failure. Enjoy chaotic, dynamic escape action shaped by teamwork and strategic decision-making.
The full release of 'PICK A BOO' is scheduled for August 2026.
