About this game
Survive together. Build your shelter. And never wander too far from the group.
Don’t Follow is a first-person or Third person co-op survival horror game set on a remote island crawling with unnatural, zombie-like predators. Work together to explore, scavenge, build, and survive in a dynamic world where sound matters, night is deadly, and straying from your allies might be the last thing you do.
Core Gameplay
Build to Survive
Chop down trees, gather resources, and build shelters, traps, and defences. Every plank matters when night falls.
3-Player Co-Op
Team up with friends to survive — or die trying. Share supplies, build together, and fight off waves of infected.
Smart, Stalking Enemies
Your enemies don’t just wander — they hunt. They follow sound, light, and your scent. Stay quiet. Stay together.
Modular Base Building
Snap-together foundations, walls, spikes, fires, and watchtowers. Create fortified encampments or hidden forest outposts.
Craft and Fight
Scavenge for weapons, food, tools, and crafting materials. Create melee weapons, torches, and makeshift gear to stay alive.
Dynamic World
Explore a large, hand-crafted island with shifting weather, dense forests, dark caves, and secret locations. Resources are scarce, and so is safety.
Hunger, Thirst, and Sanity
Manage your survival stats. Eat raw meat and risk infection. Stay in the dark too long and start to lose your grip on reality.
Naval Combat
The ocean surrounding the island exists in a pirate-era time anomaly. Command fully sail-powered ships, manage sails and cannons, and engage in immersive naval battles. Thunderous broadsides, roaring cannons, and crashing waves bring pirate-era warfare back to life.
First or Third Person
Play your way with fully supported first- and third-person perspectives
7-Day Horde Nights
Every seventh night, the island erupts into chaos. Waves of infected descend on your base in relentless swarms, testing your defences and forcing you to fight for survival. Each Horde Night grows more dangerous, with stronger enemies, larger numbers, and new threats that push you to constantly adapt. Prepare wisely — because the seventh night is never the last.
