Obakeidoro 2 review: asymmetric hide-and-seek on Nintendo Switch

Obakeidoro 2 is an asymmetric action game for the Nintendo Switch that reimagines hide-and-seek as a strategic multiplayer experience. The gameplay revolves around a simple, high-tension loop: a group of humans must survive for three minutes using teamwork and environmental tools, while a single, more powerful monster attempts to capture everyone before time expires.

While the core concept remains easy to grasp, the sequel enhances the experience by expanding cooperative elements and increasing the tactical depth for both sides. Humans must rely on movement, positioning, and coordination to avoid detection, as the monster possesses abilities to track players and pass through certain obstacles. The short duration of each match ensures constant intensity and makes the game well-suited for quick, unpredictable social gaming sessions.
