About This Game



Don't Give Up is the first run survival game that you are already dead from the start. Or almost. You play as a soul who just disembodied by accident and needs to do everything to keep his body alive until the rescue arrives. The intrepid soul must learn to exploit his environment and gather resources, such as food and medicine, in order to survive. But you need to run, because if you start wandering around, your body won't make it.

And staying alive may be as hard as life itself! There's so much to do in order to keep your body safe. And there's no hand holding. After all, you can't hold a ghost by the hand.




Are you keen on survival games, but don't have enough time to play complex games that require hours of dedication to advance?

Don't Give Up is a challenging run casual survival game for those looking for an approachable experience, but still as hard as you'd expect for a game of the genre, and still presents you with a narrative that will make you reflect on the relationship between the life and death.





  • Really hard run survival experience with no hand holding.
  • Casual and approachable survival game, but equally challenging as well.
  • Items to craft, resources to manage, enemies on the prowl and various hidden secrets to be unveiled.
  • Beautiful and whimsical pixel art visuals: cute and creeppy 2D characters inhabiting a unique lost wood.
  • Original Soundtrack.
  • Charismatic characters and a narrative that will make you reflect on the relationship between life and death.

Game Play w/ tips tricks, and time stamps how to beat the early access version: https://youtu.be/ffoqIz9T5xw Game is probably the only survival game I've enjoyed for it's simplicity. Starting the tutorial by giving the flower to the chick was hecka confusing since it's hard to figure out how to even give her items. I ran into a bunch of glitches if you die once it goes into Portuguese and you can't turn it back without restarting the whole game and reading the whole intro again. I gave her a strawberry as a separate item without it being a completed fruit bowl it wouldn't allow me to make fruit bowls anymore. Not sure if this is a glitch but death comes at 1/3 will power instead of empty and just straight up ganks you so you have to keep it above half to be safe. The bonfire says 3 stones 2 kindling as well but it seems to actually take 2 stones and 3 kindling. That early access to be continued hurt my soul though after struggling through the glitches. Great start to a game but man af...

"Don't Give Up" has relatively simple mechanics, but they work very well within the game context. The game raises existential and philosophical questions that make you ponder but without being too pretentious. Even with a high challenge level, the game keeps you engaged and makes you want to go forward to see what happens next. Recommended!

Well this game is early access so hopefully somethings can be improved. The wording in the game I feel needs to be more clear as it can be hard to determine what is said. I wish there was more explanation on what exactly you are doing, took me twelve minutes to finally realize what I am supposed to do. Once I did find out what I was supposed to do, it became fun to play. I enjoy the concept of the game! Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku_BVMsJhwI

Finished the early access in 47 min and let me tell you my soul needed this. My soul needs more of this. My soul is this. -Only problem I encountered was i can't move around when I pull up the items from clicking (c) I would love if this wasn't a thing holding me back.

The game has an interesting narrative that makes us think about our lives. Although simple, the mechanics provide a challenge to keep the body alive as the game progresses. I can't wait to see how the game will look in its final version. Recommended!

The idea of the game is interesting, it seems to have a good message. Nice pixel graphics. I expect the devs keep polishing it during early access.
