"Our entire team is sincerely grateful for your support. If you had the chance to play the prototype game VIVA NOBOTS, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts and feedback with us," developer and publisher SHUEISHA GAMES stated in their Steam news post. "Depending on the feedback from this user test, we may be able to move forward toward an official release!"

Sneak, Steal, and Expose!

This exhilarating multiplayer game centers around the art of stealthily looting precious treasure while being cautious of rival players in matches accommodating up to 16 players. In VIVA NOBOTS, you'll disguise yourself as one of the many NPC excavation robots in ancient ruins, becoming a NOBOT—an undercover treasure hunter. Your mission is to pilfer as much treasure as you can to climb the wanted rankings, all while avoiding detection by your opponents. Blend seamlessly with the actual NPC bots, and discreetly dig for treasure through a slots-like roulette mini-game, which not only yields loot but also buffs to enhance your treasure-grabbing prowess.

Additionally, you can use your trusty Doubt Gun to expose sneaky rivals aiming to escape with their haul, revealing their true identities and leading to their elimination. Successfully exposing opponents grants you extra bounty rewards and the treasure they drop. However, caution is key—shooting a real NPC robot will result in consequences. Real security bots are also patrolling the area, so swift and stealthy movements are essential to maintain your cover.

To emerge victorious, you must either safely escape the ruins with your treasure or expose three rivals and earn the chance to perform a "Victory Lap," proclaiming you the champion. In VIVA NOBOTS, the best NOBOT wins!
