About this game
Paradox is a 1v4 asymmetric multiplayer experience where superpowered survivors face off against deadly Hunter across fractured timelines.
Every match drops players into a different era, from cursed pyramids in ancient Egypt to the fog covered streets of Victorian London. Survivors must work together to complete map specific objectives, outsmart the Hunter, and escape before time runs out.
But surviving won't be easy.
Each survivor wields unique supernatural abilities that change how they play. Teleport across danger, unleash electric attacks, manipulate shadows, rescue injured teammates, or support your squad during intense chases. Teamwork, stealth, and timing are the keys to survival.
Meanwhile, the Hunter is built to dominate.
Track survivors across the map, unleash devastating powers like laser beams and rage mode, and stop anyone attempting to escape the timeline alive. Every Hunter ability is designed to pressure survivors and force them into impossible decisions.
