Rainbow Friends. Survival

Five days and five nights sounds manageable until the first creature shows up and your stamina bar starts looking a lot smaller than the map. Rainbow Friends. Survival drops you into a haunted setting where the countdown to dawn is the only thing standing between you and whatever is stalking the shadows.

Each night ramps up the pressure. You've got mission objectives to finish fast, precise actions to pull off under stress, and a growing list of monsters that know exactly where you are the second you slip up. Hiding spots and the environment become your best friends here - stand and fight is not really on the table.

The real skill is pacing yourself. Sprint too much early on and you'll have nothing left when a creature corners you late in the round. Learn the routes, learn when to freeze, and you'll start clearing nights that looked impossible on your first attempt. It plays great alongside other Survivors Likes games if you like your survival with a side of dread.

Works on Android, iOS, and desktop, straight in the browser, free, no download. If five nights of monsters isn't quite enough horror for one sitting, Deadly Descent is worth a look too.

Survive five days and five nights against monster encounters without getting caught. Complete each night's mission objectives while staying hidden and managing your stamina.

On desktop, move with the arrow keys or W, A, S, D. On mobile, drag the on-screen joystick to move in any direction.

Don't sprint everywhere. Save your stamina for the moment a creature actually spots you - you'll need every bit of it to break away and find cover.
