About This Game

Dead Engine Day Zero is the first step of your struggle for survival.
Every decision, every move, and every item you carry could push you toward another day… or seal your fate.

Survival demands not only your weapons but also your wits. Strategic traps, risky trades, and strict inventory management will constantly put your skills to the test.

Pixel-Art Brought to Life

Hand-drawn pixel-art maps bring the ruins of the city to life. Narrow alleys, abandoned buildings, and hidden corners are filled with both opportunities and deadly dangers.

The Real Threat: Intelligent Zombies

These zombies are not just wandering targets. They track, adapt, and hunt you as a group. In Day Zero, you’ll experience swarm behavior like never before.

Crossroads with Survivors

Along your journey, you may encounter new faces. Each survivor brings a different story and a unique playstyle. Finding them not only offers fresh perspectives but also unlocks them as playable characters.
