About This Game

You are sent to a remote island where a deadly virus has turned the population into zombies. Your mission: destroy infected nests with molotovs, collect samples, and survive long enough to signal for rescue. To succeed, you’ll need to master a variety of survival mechanics, including:

- Base Building & Fortifications
Construct a customizable base using salvaged materials to protect yourself from nightly zombie hordes.
Upgrade walls, doors, and defensive structures like traps, spikes, and turrets.
Build resource stations like crafting benches, storage units, and workstations for advanced upgrades.

- Crafting System
Collect resources like wood, metal, to craft weapons, molotovs, medical supplies, and tools.
Create advanced gear such as reinforced armor, or explosive traps.
Unlock rare blueprints for high-tech items through exploration.



- Zombie Hordes
Survive waves of increasingly dangerous zombie hordes that adapt to your tactics.

- Resource Management
Manage your stamina, hunger, and health while scavenging for supplies.
Balance time between foraging for food, gathering building materials, and defending your base.
Keep your gear in top condition—tools and weapons degrade over time and must be repaired.

- Advanced Combat
Use a mix of melee weapons, ranged firearms, and throwable explosives to fight off zombies.
Stealth mechanics let you avoid large groups of enemies or set up ambushes.
Combat upgrades unlock special abilities like stronger attacks or faster crafting under pressure.

- Mission Objectives
Burn zombie nests to retrieve infection samples, but beware of the hordes they attract.
Construct a beacon to signal for extraction, but defending it against the final zombie assault is your ultimate challenge.
