survival game
Outlast-the-others contest
A survival game is a video game genre where players must gather resources, craft tools, and manage needs like hunger and health to stay alive in a hostile environment.
The genre emphasizes self-sufficiency and resource management over combat or story: Minecraft popularized the survival game format.
Many survival games feature open worlds, base-building, and permadeath mechanics.
