Story
Story
The game's plot is left deliberately mysterious, with the only detail given outside of the game being that "In a small provincial town, teenagers continue to disappear mysteriously." In an interview, Anna Vasilieva, the communication director of Fntastic, explained that Propnight "has its own mysterious lore, and we happily thought of a lot of little things that can be noticed while playing the game. I would not want to take away from the players the pleasure of building theories and guessing about everything for themselves."
Gameplay
Gameplay
Propnight was a four-versus-one asymmetrical horror game. Four players played as Survivors, with the fifth player playing as the Killer. Survivors could transform into nearby props in the environment such as chairs, pots, and more in order to hide from the killer. The Survivors' objective was for at least one Survivor to escape the map. To do so, the Survivors needed to repair 5 of the 7 machines placed across the map, which in turn opened the map's exit. The Killer's objective was either to kill all 4 survivors, or prevent their escape. To catch a Survivor, the killer had to knock them down, then place them on a chair, where they would die if not rescued by another Survivor. Each survivor could only be rescued in this way twice; the survivor would die instantly if the survivor was placed on the chair a third time.
Development

Reception
Aron Poter of NME wrote that while Propnight's premise "takes a while to get used to", he described it as "a fun spin on the established concept that knows how to make the action tense, challenging, and never without several hysterical moments thanks to the core prop copying mechanic Some reviewers also criticised the game's various technical issues at launch. Rhett Roxl of Sirius Gaming in particular criticised the game's "very poor" implementation of motion blur and its inconsistent framerate, which according to him, "worsens immensely during intense moments."
