In Deathground, you enter the abandoned AEON research facility as a lone survivor or part of a team of up to four. Deadly dinosaurs roam the compound, and your goal is to survive long enough to complete your mission and escape.
Explore the facilities, locate mission items, solve tasks such as rerouting water systems, and recover lore documents. Use stealth and hiding to avoid dinosaurs, or tools such as a motion detector, hacking device, tranquilizer rifle, and medkit to support your approach.
Missions unfold across themed research locations and end with an extraction objective. Choose a character and specialist loadout, and adjust the dinosaurs’ feathered or unfeathered appearance to suit your preference.
Players who enjoy Deathground often point to its tense atmosphere and frightening dinosaur chases, especially when playing with friends, where encounters can turn into shared scares and laughter. Some also praise the facility environments, dinosaur designs, and the mix of mission tasks and tools. These positives sit alongside frequent criticism that the current experience is short and that its enemies and missions can feel repetitive.
Enter the Deathground, a terrifying survival horror experience where you’re hunted by reactive, relentless dinosaurs.
Whether you prefer to play solo or in a team of up to 4 players, your survival instincts will be put to the test and teamwork, stealth and strategy are key to getting out alive.
Choose your tools, complete mission objectives and successfully extract whilst navigating the once-secure prehistoric-research compound, now overrun by deadly predators with a taste for blood.
Face off against relentless predators that hunt using sight, hearing and movement, forcing you to adapt your strategy in real time.
Players drop into each map to complete tense missions, recover lore documents and fight to escape alive.
Each run offers procedurally-generated elements, varied objectives and reactive enemies that keep you on edge.
Use stealth, combat, teamwork and a range of specialist tools to adapt, outsmart your predators, and make it to extraction.
Coordinate with up to 3 other players and manage specialist items, namely the Motion Detector, Tranquilizer Rifle, Hacking Device or Field-Medkit, each offering tactical advantages.
With deadly threats lurking in every shadow, teamwork and cooperation can mean the difference between extraction and extinction.
Leave your teammates behind for a more isolating horror experience.
Enter at your own risk - with no one to rely on, your wits and tools are your only lifeline.
Switch between feathered and non-feathered dinosaurs to suit your own visual preference. Players can also mix and match styles in the same session - from a modern look to classic, scaly reptilian designs.
Explore a range of abandoned and decaying research facilities, deep within the AEON compound, each with its own unique theme, challenges and hazards. Can you navigate these anxious environments whilst your survival instincts are challenged at every corner?
