From Blazing Griffin, we have the Victorian-styled stealth adventure game Murderous Pursuits. In this title, some players will be put in a place where they must come up with schemes to commit as many murders as possible. Check out its teaser below for more details:

Every time the player's character moves, there will be a bar called Exposed that slowly increases. It signifies that you are gradually revealing your identity to other players.
Also, there will be many hidden points for you to blend into the crowd (if you've played Hitman Absolution, you would understand this mechanism). Other players will not be able to detect you while in this hidden state and your Exposed points will gradually decrease again.
Your main task is to separate the target from the NPC to avoid the patrol aboard the ship. And of course, you also have to avoid being killed by others yourself. To that end, you can equip yourself with countless weapons divided into three main types. There are sharp weapons such as cutlery, blunt weapons such as baseball bats, maces, and finally ballistic weapons like a stone ...
