What is Light Bearers?

This free-to-play online hide-and-seek game pits one Shadow against Light Bears in timed rounds. Bears play in first person, while most Shadows use third person. Light Bears use hiding spots and a dash to evade capture before escaping through the Light Pool at round's end; infected bears switch sides and help hunt the survivors.
