Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
How a match works
Survivors search the wards for keys and syringes, extract Black Matter and carry it back to a purge station; ten purges win the match.
Active extraction locations change as you clear them, keeping the team moving through the hospital.
Sticking together, splitting up to cover ground and leaving someone behind are all on the table, and every purge edge The Lady closer to overwhelming strength.
Playing The Lady, and fighting back
As The Lady you follow footsteps and disturbances, keep survivors in sight or catch several together to build Dread, and you cannot attack while passive - you choose the moment to unleash Enrage and close the distance.
Survivors use the radio to slow and stun an Enraged Lady, break her line of sight, watch the battery, and revive knocked teammates before the run collapses.
The Lady's Children roam the hospital, growing more numerous as the match progresses; they pursue survivors, can be banished by keeping the radio trained on them, and will drink a filled syringe left on the floor.
Progression, loadouts and who it suits
XP from matches unlocks perks for both survivors and The Lady, and each role has its own loadout with up to three equipped perks.
The page positions the game as co-op and PvP horror where you can choose your side each round, and names no other game as a comparison (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-30).
It sells the loop as surviving with friends or hunting them, with the monster role available to players in PvP.
