What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, I value connecting with players to better understand what they want from a game like this. Early Access allows me to balance my own creative vision with community feedback. I've done this in past projects and found it incredibly rewarding, even the criticism helps the game evolve.

I’m passionate about the zombie genre, and my goal is to create the kind of game I would love to play. Game development is extremely challenging, and although I’ve worked on this project for 2 years, there’s still a lot to improve and expand. I hope Early Access will help me shape the game both creatively and financially,
The development beyond this point depends on player interest and support.
I believe in building games that I would personally enjoy, and Early Access lets me improve it alongside the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is in a playable and polished state with one complete mission, solid gameplay, audio, and systems in place.
My goal is to continue adding content such as new missions and maps, but future development will depend on how players respond.
I’d love to keep improving it — as long as there’s interest and support.”

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

“The full version will include more content and features, such as: new maps, missions, and gameplay mechanics. Players will be able to protect shelters from hordes, collect vital supplies like food, weapons, and ammo, and help other survivors in danger. New environments like cemeteries, suburbs, and forests( each with distinct weather conditions) will also be added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes a complete, playable mission where you must reach a safe place while surviving brutal encounters with the undead.
The game features a third-person perspective, stamina system, dynamic zombie behavior (slow, dangerous, and relentless), polished visuals, a tense atmosphere, and impactful audio design.
While it only includes one main mission for now, it’s a solid core experience that represents the tone and direction of the full game.
More missions, environments, and variations are planned.”

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

“Yes. I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features. However im gonna try to keep the price the same as long as I can.”

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

“I read every review and forum post, and I truly value constructive criticism. I'm making this game because I want to improve it with the community's help — if you have honest feedback or suggestions, I’m listening.

I’ll be checking the Steam forums regularly and replying when I can. My goal is to find a balance between my vision and what players enjoy.

If you're respectful, even if you don’t like the game, your opinion is welcome and appreciated.”
