What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer -alongside a helpful community manager!- Early Access lets me develop The Infected with the community’s feedback shaping features, systems, and balance.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The original goal is/remains to stay in Early Access until the major systems are complete and polished. There is no exact timeline, but expect regular developments along the way. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release will build on what’s already here with a focus on:

- Story & Lore Elements: adding narrative touches and progression for players who want them.
- Polish & Balance: improving performance, tuning survival systems, and refining mechanics that don’t quite fit.
- Additional content: new items, resources, and building pieces as development allows.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Infected already offers a singleplayer sandbox experience with base building, farming, hunting, animal husbandry, crafting, cooking, mining, vehicles, seasonal weather, and optional AI enemies. Check the About This Game section for the full list of features.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may be adjusted as development progresses to reflect new content and systems.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is central to the process! We’re active on the Steam forums and in our official Discord, where players can share suggestions, report issues, and help shape the direction of the game.”

About This Game

The Infected is a sandbox, first-person, open-world survival crafting game. Build and expand your base, farm crops, raise animals, and manage power and resources through dynamic seasons and weather conditions. Hunt wildlife, mine ores, and craft advanced items. Choose whether to face the hybrid “Vambies” or turn them off entirely for a pure survival-building experience.

Farming, hunting, and animal husbandry
Crafting, cooking, and food preservation
Mining and refining of ores
Dynamic seasons, weather, and day/night cycle
Player needs: hunger, thirst, body temperature, health

Optional AI enemies (“Vambies”)
Vehicles

Lore:

The world’s collapse and the origins of the Infected are still being developed. For now, the focus is on survival systems and giving players freedom in how they play.

Disclaimer (Early Access):

The Infected is in active Early Access development. Some features are still being added and balanced, and you may encounter bugs or performance issues. We’re a small team building this game with the help of community feedback. If you’re looking for a complete experience, you may wish to wait. However, if you want to help shape the development, we welcome you now!

Goals:

The aim is to deliver a feature-rich survival crafting game with more systems and player choice than most of the genre. Survival can mean farming, base-building, or facing hostile AI — the choice is yours.
