About This Demo

Guide to Apocalypse

Built with Unreal Engine 5, Guide to Apocalypse is a linear narrative survival game that blends third-person shooting, Wing Chun close combat, and branching storylines.

About the Demo

The full game is divided into a prologue and four main chapters, with the complete Prologue and Chapter One released as the Demo.

Story

In 2028, a nuclear fusion accident in the Pacific unleashed the mutant parasite virus HELIX-731. Cities burned to ash to contain the outbreak, and global order survived only under crushing pressure, fractured among three rival factions.
By 2032, the virus consumes Riverburg overnight. This is the city where you and your loved one live—within three days, choices of loyalty and betrayal will decide your fate: escape to the stars, hold onto love, or confront the darkness of humanity.

Core Gameplay

• Firearms: Third-person combat with free switching between single pistols, dual pistols, and assault rifles. Bullet-time abilities expand your tactical options.

• Wing Chun: Traditional Chinese martial arts integrated into melee, combining combos, blocks, and recovery for a unique fighting system.

Zombie Ecology

• Appearance: Each zombie varies in look, clothing, and infection stage—no two encounters feel the same.

• Dismemberment: Detailed damage and limb loss provide visceral shooting feedback.

• Cooperation: Zombies act as a swarm. Females sense danger and shriek to summon allies, while males charge with relentless aggression. Survival depends on reading the situation.

Diverse Environments

Beyond realistic urban ruins, the story expands into surreal stages with different playable characters. Even in the Demo, you’ll explore retro pixel worlds, starships in orbit, and Chinese-style streets, alleys, and gardens—each with its own protagonist.

Rich Narrative

Driven by story at every step, your decisions shape carefully designed branching endings. The Demo alone lays narrative foundations with nearly 20,000 words of dialogue, diaries, experiments, and classified records.
