What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Afterheat is a passion project that aims to deliver a deep and immersive survival experience in a post-apocalyptic world. We chose to release in Early Access to involve players in the development process and help shape the game through community feedback. Early Access gives us the opportunity to focus on refining core systems like survival mechanics, world exploration, and crafting, while exploring the addition of new features over time.

By launching in Early Access, we can gather valuable player input to help guide improvements and adjustments. We believe that community feedback can be instrumental in shaping the direction of the game, and we’re excited about the opportunity to develop Afterheat alongside our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for at least a year, possibly longer. During this time, we aim to expand the game with new features, improve existing mechanics, and refine the overall experience based on feedback. However, development priorities and timelines may change depending on community input and technical constraints.”

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

“Our goal for the full release is to offer a more complete and immersive experience. We’re exploring the possibility of expanding the world with more diverse environments, new enemies, and additional crafting options, as well as introducing a more developed storyline. We also plan to continue improving polish and performance. These goals may evolve over time based on player feedback and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers a solid foundation of core gameplay systems, including survival mechanics, dynamic weather, crafting, and resource management. Players can explore part of the game world and experience key survival features, although some content and systems are still in development.”

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

“We plan to keep the price lower during Early Access to thank players who choose to support development early. We expect to increase the price slightly for the full release, but we intend to keep the game affordable. Occasional discounts or special promotions may also be offered during Early Access.”

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

“We plan to engage with the community through regular updates, surveys, and discussions on platforms like Steam and Discord. Feedback from players will help us prioritize what to improve or expand. We also welcome players to share their experiences and suggestions as development continues.”

About This Game

WELCOME TO AFTERHEAT

A brutal solo survival game set in a scorched, post-apocalyptic Earth consumed by climate collapse.

The world as we knew it is gone. Oceans have evaporated. Forests turned to ash. Humanity has fallen.

What remains is a lifeless desert wasteland—relentless, empty, and silent.
You are alone. No one is coming.

To survive, you must adapt to the heat, fight exhaustion, scavenge what’s left, and stay one step ahead of the planet itself.

A VAST POST-APOCALYPTIC DESERT

Explore a haunting, sun-blasted open world where every landmark tells a story of collapse. From buried cities and rusted ruins to shifting dunes and lost temples—this world is both your enemy and your only companion.

DEEP AND LAYERED SURVIVAL

Survival is not a meter to fill—it's a complex system:

Hydration and hunger: Every drop of water and calorie matters
Body temperature: Stay cool in the blazing heat and warm during freezing nights
Exhaustion: Rest is just as critical as food
Weight and calorie balance: Your body weight changes realistically based on what you eat and how active you are. Eat too much and move too little, and you’ll gain weight. Run on empty, and your body will burn fat to survive. It’s all about finding the right balance.

DYNAMIC WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS

The ecosystem has adapted in dangerous ways. Some creatures hunt. Others flee. You’ll have to learn the hard way which is which.

CRAFTING AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Scavenge for materials and forgotten tech. Craft survival gear and prepare for brutal heatwaves and sandstorms. The right tools can mean the difference between life and death.

REAL-TIME HEAT AND WEATHER SYSTEM

Afterheat features a fully dynamic temperature and weather simulation:

Days bring blistering heat, while nights could drop below freezing
Environmental factors like shadows, wind, and clothing dynamically affect your body temperature
Sandstorms and heatwaves are more than visuals—they’re deadly

A STORY OF MYSTERY AND ISOLATION

Discover the remnants of a broken world. Uncover forgotten messages, ruins, and signs of what led to humanity’s downfall.
This isn’t just survival—it’s about understanding the past and finding a reason to keep going.

IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Afterheat is being developed by a solo developer who’s focused on building a raw, atmospheric survival experience—without microtransactions, pay-to-win, or filler content.
What you see now is early. The game is still growing.

Expect regular updates during development, with improvements to:

Graphics and world detail
Sound and atmosphere
Wildlife and ecosystem behavior
Game systems, UI, game mechanics, and performance
