Evaluation
StrangerZ launched as a free-to-play multiplayer survival horror game on November 3, 2023. Shortly after launch, the developer received significant negative feedback and committed to a major overhaul called StrangerZ 2.0, which was detailed in developer posts throughout late 2023 and into 2024. As of June 10, 2024, the developer was still actively promising to release StrangerZ 2.0 in August 2024, conditional on community support for a separate game ("Hallways"). That June 2024 post is the last recorded communication from the developer.
The game is no longer available for purchase on Steam — the store listing shows no purchase options. This means StrangerZ has been delisted. The promised StrangerZ 2.0 update, which was the centerpiece of the developer's plans, does not appear to have shipped based on the available record, and the game has since been removed from the storefront entirely. Because the game is delisted, its current store availability is the definitive state of the product.

About this game
StrangerZ is a Free to Play Multiplayer Survival Horror game. Survive the "Stranger" until dawn with your teammates or play as it. Level up your stats and rank by either surviving or killing all players.

Group up with friends or other players in this fun immersive horror game. Select your lobby size ranging from 1v1 to 3v1. One player from your lobby will randomly be selected at the start of a game to play as the Stranger. The other player(s) will be "Survivors" and have to defend the house from 12am to 6am. The game ends once the "Stranger" gets past the "Survivors" defenses and kills them or if the "Survivors" survive until 6am. Every time you win a game you will earn rewards that can be used on a variety of in-game items.

Survivors will be have to work together to defend their home from the Stranger. The survivors will be given 2 locks to share as a team at the start of the game that can be placed on the windows and picked up along with one permalock that can't be picked up. You must use your equipment which includes spotlights, security system, locks and more to find where the Stranger is attacking and lock that window before its to late. If you successfully lock the window in time don't rest for long because the Stranger will come again. You must survive until 6am.
"Stranger" Gameplay:
At the beginning of each round a player from the lobby will be selected to play the Stranger. Your goal is to break into the house and kill all of the Survivors.
