Eight players. One house. Three minutes.
Bug Out is online hide and seek, four against four. Four bugs hide. Four catchers hunt. The bugs have one job: stay free until the buzzer. The catchers have one job: find every last one of them. Miss a single bug and the whole round is lost.
If you have played hide and seek in a playground you already know the rules. This one has flamethrowers.
HIDE LIKE IT MATTERS
Squeeze into a cabinet. Drop into a barrel. Hold still in a bathtub. Twenty-eight rooms and every one of them has somewhere to disappear - but sit in the same spot too long and it starts to give you away.
ONE BUTTON, ELEVEN POWERS
Every bug gets one, and it is always the same tap. Burrow under the floor and come up across the room. Vanish mid-sprint. Flood a room with ink. Anchor a catcher in place and drag him off his feet. Swap places with a decoy and walk away.
TEN CATCHERS, TEN WAYS TO GET CAUGHT
Flamethrowers. Lasers. Poison gas. A club that cracks the floor open. A tongue. A net. One of them simply swallows you whole. Sweep a room with SCAN and watch the hiding spots light up one by one.
TAKE THE HOUSE
Rooms are worth BUZZ. Walk into one and it flips to your colour - unless a catcher is standing in it, and then you get nothing. Catching wins the round. BUZZ is what you take home.
A NEW HOUSE EVERY MATCH
Twenty-eight floor plans, drawn at random the moment the round starts. Nobody gets to memorise the map. The hiding spot that saved you last round might not even exist in this one.
PLAY WITH FRIENDS
Open a private lobby, share the code, and it is your crew only - eight of you, four a side. Or drop into public online multiplayer and take whoever you are given. Short on players? Bots fill the empty seats, so a match always starts. It is a party game you can finish in three minutes.
OR PLAY ON YOUR OWN
Solo against bots, one to four a side, on the same map with the same powers. It is the fastest way to learn a catcher's weapon before you take it online.
UNLOCK EVERYTHING
Twenty champions - ten bugs, ten catchers - and twenty skins to wear. Earn coins every match, or buy the one you want outright. Daily missions, a weekly leaderboard, and four ranks to climb: NOVICE, PRO, STAR, LEGEND.
