Forsaken

Forsaken drops you into a cramped life-or-death arena, marked by a deadly asymmetrical conflict! There are two teams in this battle. The Survivors, who are many but greatly outnumbered, and the Killer, a single person with enormous ability.

No matter which side you choose, Forsaken delivers an intensely nerve-wracking psychological experience.

Forsaken Gameplay

The gameplay revolves around a tactical tug-of-war and the shifting pace of the match between the two factions. Your objectives shift completely depending on the role you select.

Playing as a Survivor

Your main purpose is to stay alive until the timer runs out or to fulfil a sequence of map goals to have an escape route. You’ve got to keep moving, hiding, and working with your team. Utilise each character’s distinct skills to aid each other, lay traps, or distract the killer. While remaining together might help speed your progress toward objectives, clustering too tightly provides the enemy a chance to wipe out the entire team at once.

Playing As Killer

You're the match's living nightmare. You don’t have to hide like the Survivors. Your mission is to actively scan the map, pressure objective locations, and eliminate all your prey before time runs out. “The key to winning is anticipating the movement patterns and timing your skills just right.

Tips for Mastering Forsaken

The Art of Knowing Thyself and Thy Foe

Don’t be one-sided. Switch between Killer and Survivor. If you are the prey, understanding the killer’s thinking, field of view, and ability cooldowns will help you execute smoother escapes.

Managing Ability Resources

Abilities often make the difference between life and death. Never waste them just to move a little faster. Save important manoeuvres for critical occasions, such as rescuing a colleague from the verge of death or creating space when the Killer is close behind you.

The "Always Have an Escape Route" Rule

When standing still to complete an objective, don't keep your eyes glued to the interaction screen. Constantly rotate your camera to survey your surroundings and mentally map out at least two escape routes in case the Killer suddenly appears.
