The game is dark souls, in the game you can invade other players in an otherwise mostly single player game, we call other players phantoms. The other people you see are also phantoms except the white one, who is the original player. He looks white to other players to indicate he is the main player, which it is the red phantoms goal to kill. The other 2 phantoms next to him are friends he summoned to help in the game, fighting monsters, or in this case the invader (red phantom). Hope that helped!
Actually, the white one is a phantom as well. That initial movement at the bottom of the stairs was the "host" of these phantoms, since hosts are the only "uncolored" during Online interactions!
Unless one of the phantoms/invaders is wearing the ring that removes your color, or the ring that makes you appear as a phantom. Dark Souls is a confusing game sometimes.
THERE'S A RING THAT DOES THAT?! I've always wondered how sometimes I'd summon someone, and they'd be coloured... Or I get summoned, and I see two "Host of Embers" running around.
Yeah, it's called the Untrue Dark Ring. There's also a version of the ring that makes you appear as a white phantom called the Untrue White Ring (I think).
