Developed with Unreal Engine 5, Better Than Dead is published by MicroProse, a well-established gaming company. The game’s story is inspired by classic Hong Kong action films from the 80s and 90s. The story takes place in the chaotic backstreets of Hong Kong and follows an abused woman seeking revenge.

The main character wields a gun, a body camera, and a list of revenge. Those who wronged her in the past are now the hunted, and every moment of revenge is recorded through the body camera.

The game’s Steam page has been launched. The page features some images of the game and a short trailer. However, a release date and availability for Better Than Dead have not yet been announced.

The game stands out from its peers by combining photorealistic visuals with an unconventional gameplay perspective like a body camera. This approach allows players to experience everything through the protagonist’s eyes, rather than simply being immersed in the story.

Despite being an independent production, this has already garnered significant attention. Given the growing expectations for realism in the gaming world, it’s been suggested that Better Than Dead could set a new trend in this area.
