About This Game

Scavenge by day — hold the line by night

Revenant Dusk is a top-down zombie survival game, solo or co-op. Spend your days scavenging a procedurally generated world: loot towns, craft, farm and fortify your base before the horde arrives.

Key Features

• Horde nights: Every few days, an escalating siege hits your base in waves. It's never announced, so learn to read the signs or get caught slacking. Each night scales to how far you've come.

• Build a base that holds: Raise walls, doors and traps. Zombies tear through whatever stands between them and their next meal, so make it count.

• Co-op with friends: Host up to 8 players over Steam. Everyone plays in their own language: English, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish or French.

• Zombies that hunt: Sound carries. Light gives you away. Every zombie has its own senses, so slip through a blind spot or lure them off.

• Deep survival: Manage hunger, thirst, wounds, bleeding — the list goes on. Cold, heat and radiation lock whole regions away until you have the right gear or shelter.

• Four unique biomes: Push out from the Forest into the Frostlands, Firelands and Wastelands. Walk in unprepared and the land kills you before the zombies do.

• Bandits and traders: Armed bandit crews hold the roads and camps. Five traders sell what you can't make yourself. Take on armed convoys that haul loot down the highways — yours, if you're willing to fight for it.

• Skills that grow with use: Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Farming, Smithing and more level up as you work.

• A world that outlives you: Play Hardcore with permadeath or Standard with respawns. Either way the world remains, along with your base, your loot and your corpse. A new survivor picks up where the last one fell.

• Scrap to Sky: Start on a Bicycle. End in a Helicopter.

Crash reports

This game uses Sentry for automatic crash reports. The error, the game's log, your OS and graphics card are collected so we can fix the issue faster. We never collect your name, Steam account or location, and your IP address is not stored. You can turn this off in settings.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Revenant Dusk was designed and directed by me — a solo developer. AI tools assisted with parts of development:

- Art: much of the game's art is drawn by code, and AI helped write that code to my designs and vision.
- Text: AI helped draft in-game text and dialogue from my themes and direction. I review and edit all of it.
- Translation: AI assisted with translating the game into other languages so more players can enjoy it.

I review, playtest and tune all of the game's content. All sound effects come from licensed, human-recorded sound libraries. No AI generates content while you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Players fight zombies and hostile armed humans (bandits) with melee weapons, firearms and bows. Combat shows blood spray, bleeding, and bodies left on the ground; there is no dismemberment. Blood effects can be turned off in Settings. Characters die permanently.

Alcohol appears in the game: players can brew and drink moonshine, and some traders are shown drunk, played for comedy. There is no sexual content, no drug abuse and no self-harm.
