    A simple idea with which is easy to pick up. Set in The Secret World universe it is familiar to those who have played but doesn't alienate newcomers. Score points by casting spells, catching your enemy and scaring them using customisable shrieks (which are unlocked through game play as well as pick ups).

    Playing with friends is more rewarding than playing public matches but either way it is still a fun way to pass the time.

    For it's price it's worth picking up and trying out.    … Expand

    Horrible game company that tends to suspend their players at random and refuses to give players a reason (Except: Sorry, its extremely busy we can't answer)). I highly recommend to not deal with this company.

    Funcom games are also in general extremely buggy but every game does has its unique flavor. Its just that the company is too horrible that I can't recommend any of their games.

    Mediocre and utter drivel. Funcom needs to start making proper games again like The Longest Journey.
    Seems like the company is on hiatus, or perhaps stalling players?
    No more lame MMOs and no more short/pathetic attempts at horror please.

    Hide and Shriek is a simple and fun 1 vs 1 game with lots of scares and a decent technical aspect. Perfect for Halloween.

    Hide and Shriek is a fun game, but can get repetitive after a while. The game needs more levels to hold the players attention longer, but playing against random people can actually make it a little more interesting, as each one tends to play a little different.

    It’s adequate; it has compelling moments; it passes the time, until enough time passes and you’ve had your fill. To say that it’s repetitive would be akin to calling an online shooter or a sports game repetitive: whilst it absolutely is, it all comes down to whether or not the fun can sustain the repetition.
