About this game
The air hangs heavy with the stench of decay - a grim reminder of the world's rapid descent into chaos. Streets once bustling with life now lay deserted, haunted by the shuffling footsteps of the undead. A random group of four survivors find themselves thrown together by their shared struggle for survival, in a world overrun by the zombie hordes. Their faces etched with weariness and determination mirror the dark and harsh realities they face.
In this single-player turn-based tactics game, take control of this band of survivors as they navigate through the midst of a zombie infestation, scavenging for resources and completing objectives, while confronting the endless threat of the undead, and surviving through narrow escapes and close calls.
UNFORGIVING TURN-BASED COMBAT: Survive at all costs as you complete objectives and escape dangerous situations with weapons you scavenge along the way. Level up and unlock new abilities to survive even in harsher environments.
HAND-CRAFTED SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN: Embark on your journey through 16 missions as you tackle new and unique challenges along the way. Immerse yourself in the narrative through captivating motion comics that propel the story forward.
NOISE ATTRACTS DANGER: Do whatever it takes to survive against the threat of zombies, but beware, the more noise you make, the more trouble it will bring.
THE RELENTLESS THREAT OF ENEMIES: Face a wide variety of zombies and other hostile survivors as you traverse deeper into the world, offering unique tactical challenges.
A DARKENED WORLD: Navigate through terrifying nights and grim streets, where destruction, violence, and panic cast deep shadows in the face of the zombie apocalypse.
MADE WITH PASSION: Dead Season was created and made as a passion project by a solo developer. If you have any feedback or thoughts, let me know!

Patch: Improved Animations, Quest Changes, & more!
Dear Survivors, We’re back with another update, and we’re excited to share some brand-new improvements that’ll enhance your Dead Season experience! We’ve added an option to toggle the visibility of the tile grid, giving you more control over your gameplay environment. We’ve also introduced new animations for throwing items between survivors, adding a touch of flair to your teamwork. You’ll also notice a new particle effect when dismantling barricades, making those moments feel even more impactful. We’ve made a major change to the quest item in “The Passage” mission. You’ll now need to find a Battering Ram to breach the door, which significantly reduces the chance of losing items at the start of the mission. Plus, we’ve improved the lighting on items in the item search dialogue. On the bug-fixing front, we’ve resolved an issue with the animation of dismantling a barricade using a chainsaw, ensuring a smoother experience as you clear your path. You can read the full patch notes here. As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on these updates! Your feedback is invaluable.
