The prologue introduces three unique antagonists: The Ringmaster, The Magic Eye and the Dummies.

The Ringmaster is an entertainer by trade. He's not interested in merely chasing you or causing harm—his ambition is far greater. He aims to deliver the grandest, most unforgettable spectacle the world has ever seen. To achieve this, he drives his victims to the edge of madness, turning them into perfect actors for his twisted stage.

Next, we have The Magic Eye—a blind, distorted figure that haunts the hotel section of the abandoned casino. Forever seeking the approval of its master, this distortion will stop at nothing to impose the sinister will of the Aethernus’ owner. At first glance, he may appear old and frail, but when he senses an unwanted guest, his terrifying true form emerges.

Hired 2 Die: Prologue will be releasing very, very soon. Be sure to check it out before the full game releases early next year!
