Try Not to Die: By Your Own Hand: An Adult Interactive Adventure

Try Not to By Your Own Hand – When You’re Your Own Worst Enemy, Survival Is the Hardest Choice of All."A harrowing, disturbing, honest, deep-dive into all-too-real horrors ably demonstrating that the right choice isn't always so easy to make."
~ Paul Tremblay, NYT bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World

At 37, she thought she’d be stronger. But years of trauma, addiction, and self-doubt have left her broken. Every choice she makes could be her last—and you’re the one making them.

In this unflinching, emotionally charged entry in the Try Not to Die series, Renée S. DeCamillis takes the concept of interactive horror to its most human and devastating level. With six harrowing paths to darkness and only one road to survival, every decision demands brutal honesty, courage, and the will to keep fighting.

This isn’t horror for entertainment.
This is horror born of real pain.

✅ Includes both the full interactive version
