Hello People of The Fog!

Experience the world’s deadliest game of hide and seek during our Steam Free Trial from now until Monday, March 13th. You can also save 60% off the base game and up to 50% off select DLCs through Thursday, March 23rd.

As a Killer, you'll hunt, chase, and attack Survivors, before bringing them to a Hook as a sacrifice for The Entity. As a Survivor, you'll find and repair Generators to then open the Exit Gate to escape alive. Don’t forget to evade the Killer and rescue your teammates before they are sacrificed!

To get you started, check out some new player and gameplay information. Once in the game, the tutorial is a step-by-step guide that teaches you the basics needed to master Killer and Survivors. You can play the tutorial as often as you want, or practice as a Killer against Survivor bots in a Custom Match.

Once you're ready, choose either “Play as Killer” or “Play as Survivor” and jump into a Public Match.

Good luck and see you in The Fog!
