The Mutineer

About

In "The Mutineer," players participate in asymmetric PvP combat on a ship, with one player sabotaging engines as the Mutineer and the other repairing damage as the Overseer. The Mutineer must blend in with AI-controlled engineers, while the Overseer must identify and remove suspicious engineers. The dynamic gameplay includes multiple win conditions, maps, and rules, with a challenging single-player mode using Unreal Engine 4.
