In Dead by Instinct, navigate dynamic environments and evade relentless pursuers. Six players must hide and run to survive the hunt, blending strategy with intense chases.
About this game
Six survivors awaken on a mysterious island inhabited by deadly predators.
Their objective is simple: survive for the time limit or find an alternative escape.
Two players take control of powerful hunters, stalking the island in search of human prey. Survivors must stay hidden, manage their resources, and work together to avoid becoming the next kill.
Every match becomes a battle of patience, teamwork, tracking, and survival. The clock is always ticking. If even one survivor remains alive when the hour ends, the survivors win. If the hunters eliminate everyone first, the hunt is over.
