About this game
BUILD, GROW STRONGER, SURVIVE
There is no truly safe place in the middle of a broken world. That’s why you must create your own. Use what you can find in abandoned structures, deep within the forest, and throughout the world around you to build a shelter that can keep you alive.
Start with a simple cabin and gradually turn it into a stronger, larger, and more livable base. Organize your shelter, craft the items you need, create a place to rest, and prepare for the dangers that come with the night.
But remember: this world does not belong to you. If you want to stay alive, hiding will not be enough. Every piece you collect, every fire you light, and every wall you build will determine your chances of survival.
FIGHT TOGETHER WHEN THE FOG ROLLS IN
Time passes, the weather changes, and every new day turns into a new struggle for survival. In a 24-hour day and night cycle, gather resources, reinforce your shelter, and prepare for the threats ahead.
The direction of the wind can change, rain can suddenly begin to fall, and dense fog can completely destroy your visibility. But the fog is not only a part of nature; it is also a warning sign of one of the greatest dangers. When visibility drops, zombies can become more aggressive and attack from within the darkness and fog.
Try to survive alone or fight against this dangerous world with up to 4-player co-op support. Explore together, defend together, build together, and fight to stay alive.
SURVIVE WITH WHAT YOU HUNT, GROW, AND FIND
Hunger is just as ruthless as the dangers waiting outside. To survive, you will need more than weapons and shelter; you will need food. Search abandoned places for supplies, make use of the resources nature provides, and find a way to feed yourself.
In the forest, you can hunt animals such as deer, process their meat, cook it over a fire, and eat it. But ready-to-eat food will not always be available. Work the soil, plant vegetables such as tomatoes, grow your crops, and use the ingredients you gather to prepare more nutritious meals.
From a simple bite to a warm bowl of soup, every meal you make will directly affect your struggle to survive.
