About CROWDED. FOLLOWED.
CROWDED. FOLLOWED. is a single‑player adventure‑strategy experience lasting about 60‑90 minutes. An unknown victim hands you a briefcase, and you must keep it safe from an entity that blends into the surrounding crowd.
The game forces you to move through tight spaces—subways, nightclubs, riot‑filled streets—while your lungs run low. A shake‑primed inhaler provides a temporary boost, and careful planning is required to stay ahead of the ever‑present threat.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Objective
The narrative begins when the briefcase is given to you, establishing the immediate need to protect it. The entity never stops moving, so you must constantly strategize to keep distance and avoid letting the briefcase fall into its grasp.
Success is measured by how long you can keep the briefcase away from the entity while navigating crowded environments. Because any individual could be the threat, vigilance and route selection become the primary tools for survival.
- Observe crowd flow before committing to a path.
- Choose routes that allow quick retreats if the entity closes in.

Inhaler Mechanic
Your lungs are described as “overworked” and on borrowed time, making the inhaler a lifeline. Before use, the inhaler requires a few shakes to prime, after which it grants a temporary boost needed to push through dense crowds.
Timing the inhaler is crucial; using it too early wastes its effect, while waiting too long leaves you vulnerable. The description frames the inhaler as essential for surviving moments when the crowd pressure peaks.
- Prime the inhaler a few seconds before entering a high‑density area.
- Reserve the boost for sections where crowd movement feels most restrictive.
