Barely Alive

Barely Alive is an asymmetric survival game for 2–10 players, who face off in rounds of hunting and sabotage. At the start of each match, one or two players become Hunters, equipped with a bow and trail cams; everyone else plays as a Survivor and tries to stay alive until sunrise.

Hunt or survive

Hunters track down the other players, while Survivors use the environment, tools and teamwork to outsmart them. You navigate forests and campsites while contending with hazards, freezing cold and hostile foes. A torch may help keep you alive.

Trust and deception

Proximity and radio voice chat let you form alliances, coordinate and stay in touch across the forest—or mislead and betray other players. You can also use traps, and rounds can end in close calls or last-second escapes. No two rounds play out the same.

Multiplayer modes

Public and private lobbies let you create or join sessions with up to 10 friends or strangers. Players can fight or try to survive together in the asymmetric matches.
