Steam Store description

A brutal FPS. One girl. One gun. One recording. They broke into her life. They filmed her. They destroyed her. Now she's back - and she's filming them. Better Than Dead is a brutal first-person shooter set in the depths of photorealistic Hong Kong. You play as a survivor who’s done running. She’s got a pistol, a bodycam, and a kill list. Every level is a raid. And every raid has a rhythm. You'll die. You'll learn. You'll come back faster - until every run feels like the revenge scene it was meant to be. Key Features Bodycam revenge shooter – Film every step. Every shot. Every death. No mercy. Learn, adapt, dominate - Each room has a rhythm. Die, read the layout, and come back harder. Every run is faster than the last. Photorealistic Hong Kong – Fight your way through iconic action-movie settings: neon-lit restaurants, seedy nightclubs, back alleys, rooftop dens. Raw, aggressive gunplay - Slide into bullet time. Move fast. Hit harder. Cinematic action style – Inspired by classic Hong Kong action films from the ’80s and ’90s.
