Deathgarden: Bloodharvest nails the horror of asymmetrical multiplayer

A multiplayer survival action game as a hunter tracking down your prey.

Deathgarden has the same DNA as Behaviour’s similar title, Dead by Daylight, where a powerful killer stalks a group of survivors. While Dead by Daylight is focused on slow, careful horror that occasionally spikes with a jump scare, Deathgarden is fast-paced and frantic. More than once, I would finish a round with my hands shaking and my heart pounding. This small early access game, which is available for PC for $15, is one of my biggest surprises of 2019 so far.
The basics of Bloodharvest

Each match has five Scavengers and one Hunter. The Hunter is invincible, equipped with powerful abilities, and packs an arsenal of weaponry. Scavengers are fast, hard to spot, capable of climbing terrain, and have unique abilities that help them evade and escape. The Scavengers have one ability and a small bow and arrow; they’re otherwise helpless. The Hunter is a first person shooter, the Scavengers have a third person view and few offensive capabilities.
