About Forsaken
Forsaken is a Roblox asymmetrical horror game that pits one killer against a team of survivors. The survivors race to complete objectives and escape while the killer - a roster of Roblox-legend characters like c00lkidd, John Doe and 1x1x1x1 - hunts them down. Survivors earn coins for surviving and killers earn coins per kill, and both sides unlock and level characters with their own abilities. It is a tense cat-and-mouse chase where teamwork keeps survivors alive and pressure wins it for the killer.
