Premise
A 4-player online 3rd-person shooter with a single twist: the match begins as cooperation against AI-driven enemies and escape-room-style obstacles, but gradually unlocks PvP, secret alliances, betrayal mechanics, and a final confrontation with the boss — the King of Killers — where only one player can ultimately win.
The novelty is the gradual CoOp-to-PvP transition. Early in a match, cooperation is required to survive; later, betrayal becomes strategically attractive. The optimal moment to break a contract is itself the game.
Sessions run 10–20 minutes. The lobby is modeled as a Tokyo-style neon nightclub. Players upgrade weapons, train physical attributes in an attached gym, sign secret contracts in a back corner, and play a card game called QuinElora between rounds.
Source IP and license
The game is based on the comic book King of Killers by Kevin Grevioux, which is also being developed into a feature film. Pixable holds a fully signed, worldwide video-game license, signed on 9 May 2022.
Kevin Grevioux is also attached creatively to develop and write the individual backstories of each avatar.
