Once Human

Survive an apocalyptic open-world action game where danger lurks at every turn. Once Human drops you into a hostile environment filled with mysterious dark creatures, demanding both combat prowess and survival skills to stay alive.

Start by crafting your perfect character through extensive customization. Adjust everything from eyebrow height and jaw width to lip thickness, hair color, and overall physique—whether you're creating a male or female survivor. Your journey begins in a mysterious scientific complex with no memory of how you arrived, setting the stage for a gripping narrative that gradually reveals how the world descended into chaos.

Your survival depends on mastering both combat and crafting mechanics. You'll begin with a pistol and quickly expand your arsenal with assault rifles and numerous other firearms scavenged from the environment. But weapons alone won't ensure your survival—gathering and crafting are equally critical. Mine rocks and minerals with picks, chop wood with axes, and collect diverse materials to construct essential items at workbenches. Build campfires and tents to rest anywhere in the world, transforming raw resources into tools that keep you alive.

The game opens with a linear first chapter introducing the story and key characters, then expands into a true sandbox experience. Once you reach the second island, the world fully opens up, revealing an environment bursting with life and danger. This progression mirrors the design philosophy of NetEase's acclaimed titles, delivering incredible visuals alongside deeply engaging gameplay that rewards exploration and experimentation.

While an internet connection is required, Once Human supports solo play—you can experience the entire story as a single-player adventure without depending on other players to progress. This flexibility makes it accessible whether you prefer playing alone or eventually joining others. Created by NetEase Games, the developer behind Life After, Rules of Survival, and Badlanders, Once Human combines their proven expertise in open-world action with fresh mechanics and compelling survival gameplay. Download Once Human today and discover whether you have what it takes to reclaim humanity in a world pushed to the brink.
