Explore a mysterious island, build a base, and survive the night. The island exists in the present, but the surrounding sea is stuck in the pirate age with naval ships still sailing its waters. Scavenge solo or with friends and face creatures that hunt in packs. Every seventh night, the Horde comes.
Don't Follow
Steam
Don’t Follow is a first-person or Third person co-op survival horror game set on a remote island crawling with unnatural, zombie-like predators. Work together to explore, scavenge, build, and survive in a dynamic world where sound matters, night is deadly, and straying from your allies might be the last thing you do.


Build to Survive Chop down trees, gather resources, and build shelters, traps, and defences. Every plank matters when night falls.
3-Player Co-Op Team up with friends to survive — or die trying. Share supplies, build together, and fight off waves of infected.
Smart, Stalking Enemies Your enemies don’t just wander — they hunt. They follow sound, light, and your scent. Stay quiet. Stay together.
Modular Base Building Snap-together foundations, walls, spikes, fires, and watchtowers. Create fortified encampments or hidden forest outposts.
Craft and Fight Scavenge for weapons, food, tools, and crafting materials. Create melee weapons, torches, and makeshift gear to stay alive.
Dynamic World Explore a large, hand-crafted island with shifting weather, dense forests, dark caves, and secret locations. Resources are scarce, and so is safety.
Hunger, Thirst, and Sanity Manage your survival stats. Eat raw meat and risk infection. Stay in the dark too long and start to lose your grip on reality.
Naval Combat
The ocean surrounding the island exists in a pirate-era time anomaly. Command fully sail-powered ships, manage sails and cannons, and engage in immersive naval battles. Thunderous broadsides, roaring cannons, and crashing waves bring pirate-era warfare back to life.
First or Third Person
Play your way with fully supported first- and third-person perspectives
7-Day Horde Nights Every seventh night, the island erupts into chaos. Waves of infected descend on your base in relentless swarms, testing your defences and forcing you to fight for survival. Each Horde Night grows more dangerous, with stronger enemies, larger numbers, and new threats that push you to constantly adapt. Prepare wisely — because the seventh night is never the last.
