About This Game

A hardcore, open-world survival sandbox set in a post-apocalyptic world where players must scavenge, craft, fortify and fight to survive against hordes of infected and other players. Scenarios let you choose your zombie apocalypse story and difficulty.

Zombies

Zombies are slower and more docile during the day. When the sun sets they become alert, aggressive and are out on the hunt.

Vehicle Fortifications

Vehicles are fully fortifiable. Cover windows and add strength to gain the advantage. Attach a plow or lights to make your vehicle the ultimate survival machine.

Structure Fortifications

Every structure is fortifiable! Plank windows, doors and place free placed barricades to secure any structure.

Mobile Homes

Don’t want to live in a structure? No problem. Find an RV or similar vehicle and take your base with you. Cook, sleep and store your items in your mobile base.

Placement & Storage

Settle into your new home by using pegboards, player storage and blueprints to put your stamp on the place. Physically place your items in the world to make your perfect survival hideout.

Zombie Hordes

Hordes increase in difficulty over time. Challenging even the best players to progressively make their base stronger and better protected. The harder the horde, the bigger reward.

Nutrition & Hydration

Cook over an open fire or directly on a stove to manage your calorie and hydration needs. Maintaining your player vitals will increase your overall strength and carrying capacity over time.

Mental Health System

The mental health system discourages the "Kill On Sight" mentality, promoting alliances for better survival against the zombie threat. While PVP is still a factor, players have ways to correct a negative mental state.

Hunting

Sick of baked beans? Head out into the wilderness to hunt for larger animals.

Crafting & Inventory

Simplified text-based inventory and crafting allows us to greatly expand on in-game items and crafting possibilities.

Blueprints

Blueprints let you visualize your free-placed fortifications before you build them. Layout your base and build it as you gather materials.

Weapon Customization

Weapon attachments let you customize your gun and get it just right for your play style.

Traps

Use traps to get the upper hand. Traps can give you the edge when zombies or raiders arrive.

Vehicle Maintenance

Every vehicle is repairable. Engine and wheel parts are required to get a vehicle running. Items can be stored in trunks and on truck beds.

Electrical System

Powering a structure can provide light to make nighttime activities easier. Some structures also require electricity to power interior and exterior doors.

Farming

When food stores start to run out, turn to farming for your calorie needs. Protect your crops indoors under light or grow them outside in the warmer months to produce food that will last through winter.

Zombie Numbers

Optimizations allow the game to handle massive amounts of zombies. They might be slow but numbers can really get the better of you.

Server Hosting & Solo Play

Simple game hosting that uses steam relays. There’s no need to port forward. Simply choose your settings and start playing.

Scenarios

Browse through official and community-made scenarios to find your perfect zombie experience.

Customizable Experience

Can’t find your perfect scenario? With over 100 configuration options, you can set things up just how you like them. Once you’re done, you can upload your world save to the Steam workshop for others to enjoy.

POIs

Explore the different points of interest to find valuable location-specific loot.

Weather & Seasons

The weather is dynamic including all four seasons along with seasonal vegetation and foliage.

Day & Night Objectives

Spend your days preparing to survive the onslaught at night. Zombies are more aggressive and alert when the sun goes down.

Day Objectives: During the day, focus on resource gathering and fortification. Fell trees, craft planks, engage in hunting and trapping. Collect loot, food, and fortify a structure. Ensure doors and containers are locked, fuel generators, and prepare power systems. Keep your health up by lighting fires, crafting bandages, and gearing up for the night.

Night Objectives: At night, prioritize safety and stealth. Team up with friends in a secured structure, favor melee over firearms to stay quiet. Activate generators, power up structures, set traps, and cook meals indoors on wood stoves. The key is to survive until morning.

Steam Achievements

If achievements are your thing, we’ve got you covered. With almost 100 achievements, you’ll be busy for some time. Can you ā€˜Choke a Chicken’?

  • Expanding weapons - New weapons and improved handling.

  • Additional vehicles - Expanding on ā€œmobile survivalā€ such as adding box trucks, trailers and light aircraft.
