About the Game


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. And every raid has a rhythm.

You'll die. You'll learn. You'll come back faster - until every run feels like the revenge scene it was meant to be.
