Survived By was a free online bullet-hell roguelite made by Human Head Studios and published by Digital Extremes. It entered Steam Early Access in December 2018 with a pixel-art world overrun by a yellow resin and creatures called Chimera.
Its hook was permadeath with a legacy: when your character died, a descendant took over and inherited part of their power as stat boosts and special abilities. Players cleared hordes together, ran dungeons, collected loot and crafted gear, and a later patch allowed parties of up to six.
The game never left Early Access. Development was halted in March 2019, the servers went offline on 19 April 2019, and the team promised refunds for all purchases. It can no longer be played.
