Prepare for a tense 1v1 strategic showdown in "In Pursuit," a game where deduction and deception are your greatest tools. Set against the backdrop of a dark night in a remote town, a murder has occurred, leaving eight suspects on the loose.

With only eight hours until dawn, the stakes are incredibly high.

Players can choose to step into the shoes of either the Inspector, tasked with uncovering the truth and proving innocence, or the Murderer, whose goal is to blend in with the crowd or escape the town entirely. The game unfolds over eight rounds, with four out of eight suspects being drawn into play each round.

Both players will strategically move two characters per turn, following a specific 1-2-1 order, to gather clues or evade detection.

At the end of each round, a judgment will be made to exclude suspects. Will the murderer be brought to justice before the sun rises, or will they slip through your fingers?

The fate of the town rests on your strategic prowess.
