Is there a Single Player option?

I'm fairly certain I want to invest in the game, however I was hoping there are single player campaigns like Left 4 Dead or some kind of "bot" option to mimic multiplayer. Be great to know that this exists in the game!

No.

Thanks for the quick response. That's a shame to hear; especially given characters like Mike Myers really would lend to a single player campaign as the Killer.

Afraid not. The game primarily revolves around a kind of "stealth" gameplay that would be difficult to program a bot to do without it feeling cheaty or stupid.

Since you haven't played, some of the maps like the farm have corn rows that can obstruct killer's field of view quite a bit meaning you can hide but your success will vary depending on the tracking ability of the player who is the killer.

A bot trying to do this would either A) never lose you or B) always lose you. That's ultimately the problem with bots in games like this, too good or too stupid.

too much feels and guesses to chase or find survivors. AI cant do that well at all. I dont think theres any AI that could pull it off and be good. Not at a game and normal computer level.

It can be done. It is either you wanna do it or not ;) And great programmers will know how to make it without making it feels cheaty or stupid ;) Developers can totally program a character to behave the way players behaving. They could make it stupid or intelligent.

But in order to add that feature, need more time and money of course. It is up to them, if they are generous enough to add offline mode, then great, otherwise, players would have to live with it while it last since online game without players, you can't play.

bot option to mimic multiplayer... imagine a bunch of bots just looping you perfectly and teabagging. that should be pretty easy to program
