What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I wanted to get more players involved to continue gathering and improving the game using their feedback.

The early access version is only intended for those who are interested in participating in the game's development as I continue to move forward with the project.

I’m a sole developer, having self-funded the entirety of this project, working on it whenever I could since early 2016. As my passion and hobby, I feel this is an important disclaimer for those considering to play the game, so players can make a more informed purchase decision.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep the game in EA up until I’m happy with its overall state, content, and gameplay.

I'm in no rush to move the game out of EA as I feel it gives me the freedom to expand the game in the direction I want as a solo developer.”

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

“The full version of the game will offer all the Early Access features along with the following features, with more being added each month based on community ideas.

• New maps with cities, adding a new experience for survivors.
• Steam workshop support is planned, we want the community to be able to develop cool mods and maps for everyone to enjoy.
• Water base building.
• Fishing
• World Vehicles
• More range of quests and objectives.
• More NPCs and NPC events.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently offers all play styles; single player, multiplayer, PvE, PvP, with many key features already in place (including base-building, crafting, air drops, NPCs and looting).

I really encourage anyone who is considering trying out the game, to first check out some gameplay footage posted by our awesome content creators to get a better idea of the current state of the game and the progress being made.”

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

“Yes, because the game isn't complete and will be undergoing frequent updates, I felt it best to offer the game at a lower price during this Early Access period, which also gives more people an opportunity to be a part of the development process.”

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

“Since early development began in February 2016, I’ve been actively answering questions and talking about the game on our community Discord, where some members even became closed Alpha testers.

Player feedback has always had a huge impact on how the game evolved, and will continue to play a crucial role in its continued development.”

About This Game

Survive the collapse. Every choice matters.

REM Survival is a post-apocalyptic survival experience where exploration, crafting, and progression are key. Play solo or online in co-op, PvE, or PvP as you scavenge resources, build dynamic bases, craft weapons and vehicles, and survive a hostile world filled with mutated enemies, radiation zones, and forgotten technology. Manage hunger, thirst, temperature, and skills while farming, cooking, researching lost tech, completing quests, and competing for high-value airdrops in a living world with dynamic weather and day-night cycles.

This is survival stripped back to its raw core.

What Makes REM Surivial Different

  • Brutal survival systems
    Manage hunger, thirst, stamina, temperature, and health in a world that does not forgive careless decisions.

  • Crafting from trash & salvage
    Turn broken, discarded materials into tools, armor, and survival equipment. Every item has value—nothing is useless.

  • Harsh consequences
    Poor planning can cost you everything. Death is punishing, and survival means learning from failure.

  • Atmospheric post-apocalyptic world
    Explore a desolate environment filled with abandoned structures, decaying technology, and environmental hazards.

  • Progression through mastery
    Start weak and vulnerable. Become efficient, prepared, and capable through experience—not hand-holding.

Play Your Way — But Pay the Price

There are no scripted solutions.
No guaranteed safety.
No easy mode survival.

Whether you build a secure shelter, roam endlessly for loot, or live on the edge scavenging high-risk locations, every decision shapes how long you survive.

Who This Game Is For

✔ Fans of hardcore survival games
✔ Players who enjoy slow, tense, atmospheric gameplay
✔ Gamers who prefer systems over hand-holding

DISCLAIMER (PLEASE READ)

Early Access is intended for those interested in supporting the project and participating in its continued development. You will most likely experience balancing issues, performance issues, latency issues, bugs and incomplete features. I will try my best to target latency issues to improve the quality of online gameplay the best I can. If you are looking for a complete gaming experience this may not be for you, I would recommend watching some recent YouTube videos showing the current state of the game. Rem Survival has been solely developed by myself, and I've always taken passion in working on it, I feel this is important to mention, so those considering purchasing Early Access can make a more informed decision.

Goals of the project:

The aim was to create a game that wasn't overly complicated but also provided a strategy-based experience that offered challenges and an overall goal and purpose to playing, rather than just looting and shooting. I wanted the game to be as balanced as possible in PvP while also offering decent PvE content.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

In-game characters start off nude and need to find or craft clothing. However, it’s the player's choice if they want to wear clothes or not. As for violence, players do go head-to-head in order to survive against each other and the game's AI characters, which includes some mild blood effects.
