The Collar

About

You’re one of several participants in a twisted survival experiment. Each of you wears a collar with a hidden timer counting down to death. Green means more time, red means less. When someone’s timer hits zero they die. But if you kill another player before their time runs out, their remaining countdown transfers to the nearest survivor. Strategy matters: luring others into deadly encounters can let you absorb their time while staying hidden. The game mixes tense evasion with calculated risk, forcing you to balance self-preservation against opportunistic aggression. The Collar’s hook lies in its brutal simplicity and social mechanics. Every interaction carries lethal stakes, whether you’re racing to outlast others or manipulating encounters to extend your own survival. Multiplayer adds layers of unpredictability, as alliances and betrayals shift with every transferred timer. While the core loop is straightforward, the pressure of imminent death and the math of time management create a nervy, replayable experience. The game’s stark visuals and minimal dialogue let the mechanics drive the tension, making every second feel urgent.
