A brutal FPS. One girl. One gun. One recording.

They broke into her life.
They filmed her. They destroyed her.
Now she's back — and she's filming them.

Better Than Dead is a brutal first-person shooter set in the depths of photorealistic Hong Kong.
You play as a survivor who’s done running. She’s got a pistol, a bodycam, and a kill list.

Every level is a raid. Every fight is personal.

Saving the other girls isn’t enough — you have to find the ones who broke you and show the world as you take them down.

Better Than Dead will launch through Steam Early Access on May 12, 2026 (and will remain so for about 6-12 months), bringing its raw, close-quarters combat and relentless, revenge-driven action to players in a tightly focused, high-intensity experience.

“The game is currently fully playable in its main mode and includes 14 levels. The Early Access version already delivers the core Better Than Dead experience from beginning to end in its first mode, with full progression across all currently included levels. From there, development will continue with further polish, balancing, optimization, feedback-driven improvements, and planned future expansion.”

“We plan to expand the game with To Heaven, a more hardcore second mode planned as a larger extension of the experience, with some additional levels and the game’s intended true ending beyond the initial release. I also plan to explore additional replayability features.”

Key Features

• Raw, Close-Quarters Gunplay: Fast, responsive shooting where every encounter is decided in seconds. Precision, timing, and positioning are critical; hesitation is punished.
• Bodycam-Style Presentation: A grounded, immersive visual approach that places players directly in the action, enhancing tension and immediacy in every fight.
• Photorealistic Hong Kong Setting: Fight through dense urban locations inspired by classic action films: neon-lit restaurants, cramped apartments, nightclubs, back alleys, and rooftops.
• Tight, Linear Level Design: Carefully structured levels built around momentum and escalation. No filler-just focused, high-intensity encounters from start to finish.
• Relentless Pace: A gameplay loop designed for constant forward pressure, where players push through spaces quickly and decisively.
• Cinematic Action Influence: Inspired by the energy and choreography of ’80s and ’90s Hong Kong action cinema, translated into gameplay-driven sequences.
• Full Campaign at Launch: A fully playable single player experience from beginning to end across multiple handcrafted levels.

Better Than Dead is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for late 2026/early 2027.
