The game takes place in a magical world where players take on the role of Hunters or Challengers, with the former trying to catch the latter before the time limit is reached. Challengers can help captured friends escape, so there\u2019s a bit of teamwork involved as well. The number of players in each team is unknown at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, Pochacco, Kerokerokeroppi, Hangyodon, Little Twin Stars, Tuxedo Sam, and Mocha will join the battle as Challengers, while other characters such as Kuromi, Bad Badtz-Maru, and Goropikadon will appear as Hunters. There will be 36 characters in total, with additional characters expected to join post-launch.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"368\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001.png 776w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-600x285.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-380x180.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-150x71.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-001-696x330.png 696w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"368\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002.png 776w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-600x285.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-380x180.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-150x71.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-002-696x330.png 696w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Each character possesses some form of magical ability that they can use, and there\u2019s an option to customize their appearance with things like costumes and glasses. Not to forget, players get to watch their favorite characters in action, which may be quite appealing for fans. The game seems slow-placed, so casual players will likely find it easy to play as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although simplified in terms of gameplay, it&#8217;ll likely fall into the genre of asymmetric multiplayer in the same vein as <em>Dead by Daylight<\/em> and <em>Identity V<\/em>. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Imagineer will combine the Sanrio IP with this prominent genre while making it accessible to casual players.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"368\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003.png 776w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-600x285.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-380x180.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-150x71.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198300-003-696x330.png 696w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miracle-match.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sanrio Characters Miracle Match<\/a><\/em> is now available for pre-registration in Japan.
