Damned

Damned is a randomized online horror game for up to five players: four survivors and one monster. Survivors explore haunted places such as hotels and hospitals, searching for a way out while helping their friends escape. One player controls the monster and hunts them.

Survivor escape

As a survivor, you search for keys and items that can help you escape. Each survivor has a flashlight that you can switch on and off to see your surroundings, but its light can also reveal your location to the monster. You can manipulate objects throughout the hotel, including drawers, doors, safes, cabinets and wardrobes. Survivors cannot directly affect the monster; when it comes after you, you can only run and hide.

Play as the monster

The monster player competes alone against the survivor team, hunting and trying to kill its members. The game features different monsters, each with a distinct play style and way of hunting.

Randomized stages

Every stage is randomized. Almost all objects may or may not appear, and the item system randomizes both which items appear and where they are placed. The way survivors win a match is randomized too, and a stage may trigger random events to frighten them.

Cooperative and competitive play

The four survivors cooperate to escape together while competing against the monster, which tries to hunt them down and prevent each escape attempt. Unexplained noises and movements can leave survivors unsure whether the monster is nearby or the sound is random.
