About the Game

Which fate awaits you?

The DeadLine is an online third-person asymmetric horror game. Become the killer and hunt down survivors without mercy, or become a survivor and escape from the killer’s pursuit. Hunt or escape — which fate awaits you?

The survivor’s main objective is to repair the escape mechanism and get away from the killer, while the killer’s main objective is to eliminate all survivors.

Survive and escape!

Collect the escape parts scattered across the map to repair the escape mechanisms and make your way out. Avoid the killer’s pursuit and use strategy to stay alive.

Find and hunt!

Detect survivors' movements and track them, eliminating them before they can escape. Use fear and strategic pressure — you can take them down.
