*mischievous laugh*

We heard that something is happening in Lakeview... There's a weird man in town, maybe he has valuable things to sell? Apparently he likes pumpkins.

Will O'Wis will be in town until the 1st of December!

(Additionally, quality kits are now more easily obtainable. You're welcome.)

FINALLY!! After more than three years of development, and months of Closed Beta, we are proud to announce that the game is OUT ON STEAM!!

Greetings and welcome to this news!

We're on the home stretch! Since the announcement of the Closed Beta we have been very busy on many features and didn’t have the chance to post a news here for a while. But here we are again and to resume, we will continue a presentation we already began in a previous news, the one about the different types of infected! (Yes, there are more!)




This infected, driven by a feeling of latent anger, is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous infected if you fight it without caution. Wild by nature, it prefers to surround itself with other infected behind whom it hides. It is when a survivor kills too many infected near it that its rage makes it a real berserker. Faster, stronger and tougher, it will not be so easy to put it on the ground. Especially since too much rage will make it attack anything that moves, including other infected!




Among all the bestiary that wants you dead, it is the Tracker who will push your limits the most. As its name implies, this infected will track you down wherever you are once it has spotted you. Its speed exceeds by far that of other infected (as well as yours), it will be the one attacking on the front line to slow you down with painful claw blows.

These two infected join those presented during the previous news (Crawler, Screamer, Protector, Puker and Catapult). They are identified as "Special Infected".



These specimens have the particularity of adapting to the player’s behavior and to the threat the player represents. They improve and gain specific skills as the player's threat level rises. For example, a Protector will charge you to protect another infected that you have attacked, a Crawler will jump on you from further away and so on.






To these fearsome enemies are added the "Themed Infected". More numerous, it is easy to know who they were before being infected. Firefighters, workers or scientists, wearing a prisoner's suit or an antibacterial one, they differ from normal civilians by their themed appearance. Stronger or more resistant, capable of electrocuting or poisoning, they each have their own abilities that you will need to identify in order to prepare yourself accordingly.



Of course, getting rid of one of them will allow you to pick particular items up, such as firearms on Militaries Infected or fish on an Fisher Infected! Moreover, it is possible that one of them spreads its theme like an infection, contaminating the nearest objects’ containers. So find out which ones might hold the resources you are interested in and look for the places where you are most likely to find them.








To conclude this news, we will have a look at one of the most mysterious infected. The Peruvian, sometimes called "Adventurer", is an infected who has gone through many different places before and after its infection.



Very resistant, having survived long journeys, it will not be easy to face it alone. But when you look at all the treasures that it was able to collect and that it drops once defeated, there is no doubt that you will find comrades in arms to go after it!

And that's all for this second news about infected! We hope you liked it! See you soon for a next news and perhaps for next infected!

Hello everyone, and welcome to this news! This time, we will go more in depth about one of the most important places in the game: the Lakeview village.



18th Lakeview Lane. One of the last known bastions of humanity, located in North California, brings together those who survived the Apocalypse. The only condition to enter is to prove your immunity to the infected. If you can not justify any previous bite, you shall not pass. And surviving alone in a world filled with these merciless creatures would be a last stand for you.

It is an important place in Dead Maze in which you will return between each mission. This will be a good opportunity to prepare your next expeditions and to follow closely the evolution of the fight against the threat of the Infected.




Every community needs to have someone to make decisions and organize everything. It is Egon, creator of Lakeview who takes this primordial role. Following the mysterious disappearance of this ingenious chief, the intendant Wallace Abboth tries as much as he can to occupy all the abandoned administrative functions.

But Lakeview is not in the pay of one man. There are four factions working in unison, each with its own specialty. And it's Murphy Lane, a former combat-warred faction leader, who takes on the role of the operational chief coordinating everyone.




From the village gates you will face the Lakeview Guards. Although they are not a faction in their own, they still have a leader: Manuel Lopez. He and his men, mercenaries for the most part, will not fail to remind you of the main rule of the village: the one about the Excessive Noise to avoid attracting more Infected. And that's probably the only thing they will do for you.



For protection on a larger scale, the Shepherds take over. Their cattle are the infected. Their main mission is to redirect hordes that would threaten the village by installing dams and sound decoys. But they also secure the most dangerous areas for the other factions so they can take action. It is with Sekou Iwume, the leader of these impetuous risk-all, that you will be able to acquire additional weapons.




Most people who join Lakeview, and want to be helpful, choose to follow Henry Collins. The members of his faction, the Scavengers, are responsible for raking the areas in search of everything that is exploitable: food, weapons, materials. You will necessarily have to deal with him, at least until you prove your worth. In addition, he may also provide you with food at a cost.




Before any outside operation, it is necessary to identify the areas that are interesting to search and those that are too dangerous. This task is fulfilled by the Scouts of Mei Lee. The members of this faction, elitist and very closed, have their eyes and ears constantly on the lookout and know everything about their environment. It is with the leader of this over-equipped faction that you will be able to buy additional skills.




But all these maneuvers are not without danger, and survivors sometimes find themselves injured or even trapped on the ground. Lynn Durand’s Saviors are the ones who will come to the village and take care of you until you are ready to go back to work. It is also Lynn, based in her infirmary, who will sell you various buildings for your camp.

It would be unwise to rely on one single source of food. This is why,
concurrently with Scavengers’ work, Lakeview has its own agriculture in which the pure water of the lake plays an important role. Vegetables, cereals and other farm products therefore constitute part of the food supplementing those brought from outside.




Finally, Lakeview will also serve as a base from which you can start more difficult missions. The Adventures and Expeditions will send you and your friends to new areas to perform way more difficult special quests. You can undertake one of them via the operating table located next to Murphy Lane. As a result of these operations you will be rewarded with the necessary currencies to buy what you need from the faction leaders.

See you soon for the next news!
