Sneak, Steal, and Outwit!

Dive into the world of VIVA NOBOTS, where stealth and strategy collide in fast-paced, 16-player matches filled with deception and high-stakes treasure hunts. In this unique multiplayer experience, players take on the role of NOBOTs—secretive treasure hunters disguised as NPC excavation robots exploring ancient ruins. Your mission? Collect as much loot as possible without getting caught by other players or the watchful eyes of real security bots.

To succeed, blend seamlessly with the environment by mimicking real NPC behavior. While digging for treasure, you’ll also engage in a slot-machine-style mini-game that can grant powerful buffs and additional rewards. Stay sharp, because rival players may be hiding among the bots, waiting to steal your hard-earned loot.

Expose suspicious players using the Doubt Gun, which allows you to reveal and eliminate impostors—earning yourself bonus treasure in the process. However, be cautious: if you mistakenly shoot a real robot, there will be consequences. Security bots patrol the ruins, so staying undetected is key to survival.

Victory can be achieved in one of two ways: escape the ruins successfully with your loot, or expose three rival players to trigger a "Victory Lap," declaring you the ultimate NOBOT. Will you make it out with the treasure, or will you be exposed before you reach the exit?

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the VIVA NOBOTS alpha test—secure your access now and show off your sneaking skills in this exciting new stealth showdown.
