What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Zovid27: The Last Vaccine is being developed by a solo indie developer. Early Access allows me to shape the development process with the help of the community. By gathering player feedback in the early stages, I can improve game mechanics, balancing, and the overall experience.

Early Access gives you the opportunity to be part of the journey, experiencing the struggle for survival in a post-apocalyptic world while contributing to the development through your insights. Your feedback is essential in shaping Zovid27 into its best possible version.

As a solo developer, the Early Access timeline may vary based on community feedback and development progress. The goal is to ensure the game is as polished and complete as possible before the full release.

It’s a collaborative process, not just for the game, but for the players too! Let me know if you’d like me to tweak the tone or add anything else!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Since I’m developing this game alone, the timeline depends on development progress and player feedback. My goal is to keep Zovid27 in Early Access for approximately 8-10 months to ensure a polished and complete experience. However, this may change based on improvements and new content being added.”

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

“As a solo indie developer, my goal is to make Zovid27: The Last Vaccine a deep and immersive survival experience. The Early Access version provides the foundation, but the full release will expand upon it with major improvements and new content.

Planned Improvements & Additions for Full Release:
⚡ Expanded Game World: More cities, abandoned facilities, and survivor settlements to explore.
🧠 Smarter AI: Improved enemy behavior, including zombies with better pathfinding and unique mutations.
🦠 New Mutated Enemies: Different zombie types with special abilities that force new survival strategies.
⚔️ Deeper Combat & Weapons: More weapon types, melee combat refinements, and additional customization options.
🏕️ Advanced Survival Mechanics: Base-building, crafting, and an expanded inventory system.
📖 Richer Storytelling: More lore, survivor factions, and world-building through notes and audio logs.
👥 Potential Multiplayer/Co-op: If possible, a multiplayer component where players can team up to survive.
🎨 Enhanced Visuals & Optimization: Better lighting, improved textures, and overall performance enhancements.
🎶 Immersive Sound Design: More ambient sounds, better zombie noises, and dynamic audio cues.
These additions will make Zovid27 a more complete and polished experience. The timeline for these features will depend on development progress and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of now, Zovid27: The Last Vaccine is in the early stages of development. The core gameplay mechanics are in place, including:

Survival System: Hunger, thirst, and health management are functional.
Combat Mechanics: Basic weapons such as pistols, rifles, and shotguns are implemented with attachments.
Zombies: The infected enemies are already in the game, with a variety of zombie types and behaviors.
Exploration: Early areas and environments are available for players to explore, including ruined cities and small survivor settlements.
What’s Being Developed:

World Expansion: More areas and locations are being added to the game.
Polishing & Optimization: The game is being continuously optimized for smoother performance and better visuals.
Story Development: The game's narrative is still in progress, and players will discover more about the world, their mission, and the story as development continues.”

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

“During the Early Access phase, the game will be available at a discounted price to reward early supporters and allow players to get in on the ground floor. This price will remain lower than the final release price as an appreciation for players who help shape the game through their feedback.

Post-Early Access: Once the full release is ready, we plan to adjust the price. As new content and features are added, the price may gradually increase in line with the expanded game experience and improvements. However, the price will not dramatically change at any specific moment, and it will remain reasonable considering the full scope of the game.

Regional Pricing: Due to differences in regions and currencies, the price may vary depending on your location. We aim to keep pricing fair and accessible for players around the world, reflecting local market conditions.”

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

“Player Feedback & Iteration – We will closely monitor player feedback through Steam discussions, in-game bug reports, and social media. Regular updates will be shaped by community suggestions to refine mechanics, balance gameplay, and enhance immersion.

Content Updates & Polls – We will engage players in decisions about new features, weapons, survival mechanics, and world-building elements through community polls and discussions.

Bug Reporting & Playtesting – Players will have a direct role in identifying bugs, testing new mechanics, and ensuring smooth gameplay through dedicated test branches before major updates.

Our goal is to create an immersive and evolving survival experience driven by player input, ensuring that Zovid27: The Last Vaccine reaches its full potential with the help of our community.”

About This Game

In Zovid27: The Last Vaccine, humanity’s survival hinges on the aftermath of a global disaster caused by a deadly virus known as Zovid. In 2026, the world falls into chaos as the virus spreads rapidly, turning the infected into savage, zombie-like creatures. The outbreak is linked to a controversial vaccine that was designed to combat the original pandemic but had unforeseen and deadly side effects.

You play as a traveler stranded in the United States while your family remains in Europe. With the world in ruins, your main goal is to find a way to reunite with your loved ones. The journey is perilous, filled with the undead and scarce resources. Survival depends on managing hunger, thirst, and health while scavenging for weapons and gear.

Key Features:

  • Survival Mechanics:
    Manage hunger, thirst, and stamina as you scavenge for resources, hunt wildlife, and craft essential items to stay alive in a hostile environment. Every day is a fight to survive, and no resource is ever wasted.

  • Weapon Customization:
    Equip yourself with a variety of firearms, melee weapons, and other tools for combat. From pistols to rifles, shotguns to long-range weapons, each weapon can be customized with attachments like scopes, suppressors, and laser sights. Tailor your arsenal to suit your playstyle and the dangers you face.

  • Hunting and Scavenging:
    In this broken world, food and supplies are scarce. Hunt wild animals, loot abandoned buildings, and scavenge from the remains of cities to gather what you need. Be careful—resources are limited, and every expedition into dangerous zones carries risks.

  • Dynamic World and Exploration:
    Explore vast, open-world environments, from ruined cities to abandoned towns, forests, and desolate roads. The world is alive with threats from the zombie hordes, and navigating through it requires both stealth and skill. Avoid attracting the attention of the infected, or risk being overrun.

  • Combat and Stealth:
    Face off against hordes of zombies using tactical combat and stealth. Engage in intense gunfights or avoid the infected altogether by using stealth tactics. Every enemy encounter with the undead is a potential risk to your life, and choosing the right approach could mean the difference between survival and death.

  • Earning and Upgrading:
    As you survive, you’ll earn Survival Points (SVG) by completing objectives, scavenging, and surviving encounters with zombies. Spend these points to upgrade your character, purchase new gear, weapons, and attachments, or unlock helpful abilities. Your survival depends on your ability to improve and adapt to the ever-changing world around you.

  • Arenas to Earn SVG:
    Participate in two unique types of arenas to earn valuable Survival Points (SVG):

    • Escape from Maze:
      Navigate through a deadly maze filled with zombie traps, hordes of undead, and perilous obstacles. The objective is to escape the maze within a time limit while avoiding zombies and solving puzzles. The faster and more efficiently you escape, the higher your SVG rewards.

    • Wave-Based Survival:
      Test your endurance in wave-based survival arenas, where you’ll face increasingly difficult waves of zombies. Use your weapons, tactics, and survival skills to hold out as long as possible. The longer you survive, the more SVG you’ll earn. This arena is all about facing relentless zombie hordes with escalating difficulty.

  • The Struggle to Reach Your Family:
    While surviving the harsh, zombie-filled landscape is your immediate concern, your deeper goal is to find a way to reach your family in Europe. Along the way, you’ll uncover clues, make difficult choices, and face life-threatening challenges. Can you push through the chaos and reach your loved ones, or will the zombie apocalypse consume you first?

A World of Lost Hope, Where Every Choice Matters

Zovid27 is not just a game about zombies—it’s a story of survival, hope, and humanity. In a world on the brink of extinction, you must make tough decisions that not only affect your survival but also shape the world around you. Will you help other survivors or turn your back on them? Will you risk it all for the chance to find your family, or will you simply focus on surviving the next day?

The story of Zovid27 will unfold through your actions, and the choices you make will determine if you simply endure or find a reason to keep fighting in a world where hope seems lost.

Survive. Adapt. Reunite.
