About this gameFull description from Steam
Just Act Natural is a crazy online multiplayer party game full of deception. Compete against your friends in a continuously expanding pool of game modes and stages. Our take on the party game genre requires you to be as deceitful as possible. Fool your friends, don't act sus, just act natural. Asymmetric online multiplayer for up to eight players Grab your friends for a night of round based party gaming shenanigans! Switch roles from hider to seeker and choose from a wild mixture of different game modes. Find out who acts the most sus. Everything's handmade! (yes, really, everything) Everything is hand sculpted out of clay and photographically scanned into the game. This adds a unique aesthetic to the game and provides something fresh to the party-game genre. Power Ups and Items Both roles have a collection of items to choose from at the start of the game. You can use these to help hide yourself as a Hider or help find the other players as the Seeker. Keep track of who has used what item and use this to your advantage to win the round. Original soundtrack The Just Act Natural soundtrack is unique too! Composed by Matthew Rock. Where is this Discord server? What's the difference between the Free and Premium Versions? The Premium Version of Just Act Natural includes several additional game modes and new maps! Can I play the game alone? This game is strictly online multiplayer only. It does require at least two people to play. While we do have a match-making system, the game is very indie and the player base is small. We welcome you to our Discord server where you can find other players (or devs) to play with! Why doesn't father love me? I’m not sure.
