About the Game

EXTERMINATE THE INFESTATION

Defest is a first person adventure horror game. In Defest, join with your friends to exterminate monster bugs and remove interdimensional rifts that are infesting the suburban town of Hive's End. This game is currently early access so although not perfected, we will continue to add features and updates when they are available. We are working to add additional enemies, biomes, objectives, and features to make gameplay more fun.

TEAM UP AND GEAR UP

Up to 6 players can team up and explore festering biomes, upgrade your gear for more efficient exterminations, extract loot for higher rewards.

Every mission keeps players moving forward as they unlock stronger tools, discover hidden areas, and keep the interdimensional threat at bay.

INTERDIMENTIONAL THREAT

Each playthrough has a unique and fresh experience. Get lost in procedurally generated environments with over 100,000 different combinations of levels to explore.
