Note: This is a testing release, bugs may exist. Any and all feedback appreciated.
Requires the latest version of CustomMissionsV2
For years, you've danced on the edge of discovery. The thrill of the fleeting moment, the adrenaline rush of pushing boundaries – it’s been your game. You are Manaka, and the night is your canvas. But every masterpiece has its dark side. Every risk carries a price.
A single mistake. A careless dash across a moonlit park. A stranger's camera flash. Now, that moment lives online, a digital echo rippling through the city. The location is known. The silhouette is familiar to those who know her. And now… they’re looking.
They are the Hunters.
This mod isn't just about streaks and close calls anymore. It’s about survival. A new layer of tension has descended upon your world, a constant threat lurking in the shadows. These aren't ordinary NPCs; these are individuals driven by what they saw – fueled by curiosity, perhaps even something darker. They won't simply scatter when you appear. They will hunt. The stakes have never been higher. A single misstep means more than just lost points; it means facing consequences that could change everything.
What Changed? The Hunt Begins.
The Hunters are a new addition to the game world. They patrol familiar routes, blending into the regular hustle and bustle, their eyes scanning for any sign of the woman they've seen in those images. Each encounter is a gamble – a test of your skill and cunning. Successfully skirting detection earns you points as before, but now the stakes are far higher.
Your Fate, Your Rules: Punishment Mods.
The power to define those consequences is in your hands. This mod introduces a revolutionary system: Punishment Mods. Want to explore what happens when a Hunter finally corners you? Download and install custom modules that dictate the outcome – from minor inconveniences to… well, let your imagination run wild. The possibilities are endless.
To kick things off, I've included my own punishment mod, offering a glimpse into the potential for escalating consequences:
The First Encounter: Should a Hunter catch you, they’ll swiftly remove your coat (and reveal any clothing beneath!). They will then vanish to another location on the map before discarding the coat. Chase them and your coat is yours again, lose them and hunt for where they've hidden it.
Escalation: Subsequent captures become increasingly… complicated. The second time, you'll be handcuffed in addition to losing your coat. Expect a chase for both the key and the discarded garment. The third encounter leads to something far more unsettling: more material for the online hoards. Any further captures will simply replay this final, harrowing scene.
Installing Punishment Mods is Simple:
Download: Find a punishment mod you want to try
Place: Copy the downloaded file into the same folder as your game files.
Restart: Launch the game and let it load the new module.
Activate: Open your Phone menu in-game, tap the Options Cog (⚙), then select "Hunted." One option is called "Hunter Mod Name" Enter the mod’s name exactly as it appears (case-sensitive) to activate it.

Surviving the Night: Tactics for Evasion.
Your instincts are your greatest weapon. Break line of sight – duck into narrow alleys, disappear behind buildings, and use the environment to your advantage. If the pressure becomes too intense, you can adjust the number of Hunters patrolling or give yourself a little more breathing room by using the mod's in-game options for adjusting difficulty.
Embrace the shadows. Outwit the hunters. And remember… they’re always watching.
