Sneak, Steal, and Expose: Master the Art of Deception
VIVA NOBOTS drops you into chaotic 16-player matches set within mysterious ancient ruins, where treasure hunting meets high-stakes stealth. You play as a NOBOT—a rogue treasure hunter disguised as an NPC excavation robot. Your mission: infiltrate, loot, and escape with as much treasure as possible, all while blending in with the environment and avoiding detection.
The game cleverly combines stealth mechanics with a dynamic slots-like roulette mini-game that rewards players with loot and powerful buffs during excavation. The more you dig, the greater your chances of striking it rich—just don’t get too greedy.
But beware: other players are hunting the same riches. Use your wits to remain undetected, mimicking the behavior of real NPC bots to avoid suspicion. If you spot a suspicious robot acting out of place, pull out your Doubt Gun to expose them. Successfully revealing a rival eliminates them from the round and grants you their stolen loot as bonus bounty.
However, accuracy is key—accidentally shooting a real security bot will trigger consequences, so think twice before firing. Stay sharp, stay hidden, and outsmart the competition.
Victory can be achieved in two ways: either escape the ruins with your stolen treasure intact, or expose three rival players to unlock the Victory Lap, declaring your dominance as the ultimate NOBOT.
Will you play it safe, or take the risk for legendary rewards? The ruins await—join the alpha and find out.
