Survive Until Dawn

Survive Until Dawn drops you into a world where daylight is your only friend. As the sun sets, creatures emerge from the shadows, and your only chance is to stay alive until morning. This browser-based action game blends resource management with tense, fast-paced combat, pushing you to make split-second decisions as you scavenge for supplies and fortify your position. Every playthrough is a fresh struggle. You'll navigate dimly lit areas, gather whatever you can find, and fight off waves of relentless foes that grow bolder as the night wears on. With no downloads to worry about, you can jump straight into the horror and test your endurance, whether you have five minutes or a full evening. The question isn't if you'll be tested—it's whether you'll see the dawn.
