About the Game
A Way to be Dead is an asymmetrical multiplayer (up to 5 players) horror game. Players can take on the role of killer, the victims or even the undeads. Escape | Kill | Eat...


Game Features


◆ Play as undeads, victims, and killer
◆ Ability to improve the character using the Skill points gained by winning sessions
◆ Environmental elements can cause the victims to raise a lot of noise. As victims, avoid them. As a killer, use the relevant visual and aural notifications to track down your prey!
◆ Multiple paths to choose to move around in the maps. As victims, scatter around using the underground tunnels safely and reach key points quickly. As killer, lay in ambush around those key points.
◆ As victims try to remain stealthy. As a killer, track down the aural and visual cues of noises to find your prey!
◆ Help the other victims and escape together, or turn into undead and get left behind forever.
◆ Customize all the variables in a match. Duration until the lights are shut off, the number of undead, loot ratios.
◆ Completely handcrafted sections with many interconnecting paths and various themes such as sewers, open spaces, level traps and dark corners of the buildings. Additional maps are being worked on.

Extremely atmospheric game. The art style reminds me of old resident evil games if you like dead and daylight game probably gonna like this one.

General: I've only played 1 match for 4 minutes- if that. Killer insta-killed everyone and then logged off. The rest of my time was waiting for players to even be online which never happened. For the Dev: From my brief run through ONE match I can tell you: controls are clunky, animations are terrible, sounds are cheap, and the objectives for winning and losing are not fully presented. This makes for terribly awkward gameplay, and that's not what you're looking to present to players as a first impression. You want something a lot more polished than this to be presented. For potential buyers: If you're getting this game thinking you're going to be playing an 4survivors vs 1killer game, you're wrong. You're buying a early access dead game that you can't even play because nobody is ever on. Conclusion: Avoid wasting your money.

I only played 3 games, so I don't have enough experience to fully comment on the game. That being said, aside from the 3 completed games I disconnected within a minute of the game due to host dropping several times. Then players leaving, etc. The game itself seems very boring. Find key. Flashlight. Play dead. Tutorial says hide...but where exactly? I don't see any lockers etc to hide in. Then the few times I actually got to play a game, the killers just camp a downed person and kill you pretty instantly. Other than having an actual "scary" feel to the game, I think it's pretty bad. Also, the design of all the victims is really quite ugly. They way they walk, run...just exist is unappealing. Looks like they put all their effort into Riley, who repeats the same lame line every time he kills you. I refunded.

I'm very interested in the game and I'm hoping the devs can take it to a whole new level of gameplay cause this game has the very full potential of becoming a great asymmetrical horror game, there will always be problems with games but please just give it a chance before you start making a harsh decision against it. This will change gaming if you keep up the positive reviews and keep on buying it for other friends.

honestly i dont write reviews that often on games but for something this bad i will take the time to its is by far hands down in the top 5 worst games i have every played its to one sided the killer can camp one spot and pick everyone off there is no way to hide u can turn into a dead body but its diffrent looking then any other dead body thats on the ground in the game its just a bad game early access or not this was far from ready to come out even under early access do yourself a favor save the 6.99 or set the 7 bucks on fire it would be better then buying this.

this game is good at the first time before i bought i was worried about this game i thought this game is dead like other's similar to dead by daylight but it's not dead there is lot of people playing it . here what i like about this game 1- new idea : as survivor you have to collect body parts to get the key. killer can get any weapon to kill . ai zombie are attacking killer and Survivors. - if you play cathedral . as survivor you have to break rocks and collect gems to get the key . survivors can trap the killer or monsters . if you healed someone or you break any rocks you gonna get money this money you can buy heal or power to stun the killer. 2- there is two games in one game 3- not dead game 4- graphic are good 5- the devs adding new things fixing bugs

Played a couple times on both sides. Not a bad game. While it may have things to improve here and there, I think it's suffice to say that for an early access game, it's pretty polished. Only setback could be the lack of a large player-base but that's expected to grow over time I guess. If the devs keep working on it and adding more content to the game before release, it should become a pretty viable choice for a good multiplayer experience.

We need more people, filling the lobby takes too much time. Also this game deserves it! I have not faced any bug which is a surprise for me because this is a brand new game. An negative think for me is UI is not friendly. I want to see estimated time for match making.
