What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Better Than Dead will benefit from player feedback and give the developer the opportunity to engage with, adapt and adjust the game and future content based on the feedback on the path to 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for 6-12 months. If this changes, we will notify the community in advance. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“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.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“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.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be engaging the community through Discord and Steam Forums in order to make improvements to the game. Building this game alongside the community will make it a better experience and we look forward to hearing from them.”

About This 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. 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.
