About this game
DECAYED is an open-world, post-apocalyptic survival game set across the ruins of Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding Sonoran Desert.
You are a Green Beret whose routine search and rescue operation spirals into the first hours of total societal collapse. What begins as a quiet assignment becomes a fight to survive as the infected tear through the city, and the world you knew disappears in a matter of hours.
Explore our take of the Southwest: fight your way through the crumbling streets and high-rises of Phoenix, scavenge small towns and outposts scattered across the desert, and roam through rugged forest terrain as you push toward the edges of what's left of civilization. Each environment brings its own dangers, resources, and stories — from crowded urban chaos to the eerie silence of the open desert.
FIGHT THE UNDEAD
Choose your own battles. Come out weapons blazing, using your tactical skills and whits to make your way through the undead, or hunker down and protect an area, standing your ground.
OPEN WORLD
Explore the world with absolute freedom. Stay in the city and loot buildings, homes, or bases for powerful items, or stay secluded in a forest, with the decreased abundance of threats. There are zero restrictions by missions or NPC's. You are your own commander now.
FORTIFY AND CRAFT
Fortify your post by building structures, crafting lethal tools, or utilizing firepower to defend yourself or fight with. You have more than just the dead to worry about.
DYNAMIC SEASONS
Experience the hardships of changing weather and seasons, from freezing temperatures and scarce amounts of food in the winter, to a warm summer evening, with a higher abundance of the dead roaming the streets. You must adapt to these changes to survive.

Teaser Trailer Live on IGN + What Comes Next
Hi everyone,We are proud to announce IGN has hosted our trailer on GameTrailers. You can view it (again!) via the link attached:A quick word on the teaser: DECAYED is still deep in development, and rather than wait until everything is ready to show, we wanted to give everyone an early look at the atmosphere we're building. A teaser felt like the right way to do that without overpromising - or overstretching the team. We made that choice deliberately. That said, we hear you - the critism left is fair, and we take it seriously. We'll also admit - we're a new studio, and we're learning as we go. That means we won't always get everything right, and our first trailer clearly reflected that. We're taking every bit of feedback seriously, and we're committed to getting better at communicating, and our approaches as the project grows. What we can promise is that more is coming. When we're ready to show what this game actually plays like, we will - and we think it'll be worth the wait. Thanks for watching, and for the honest feedback. It means more to us than you know. - The LIQUIDBULLET TeamRead full article on Community Announcements (Anarky)AnnouncementsOfficial

DECAYED July 2024 Updates
Hey everyone! It's been yet again months since our last update involving the game. As mentioned in a previous announcement off-steam, we have been officially working on DECAYED for over a year now! This is one of our first milestones, and we have powered through working very hard for the past year developing the game. At the moment, we are slowing down to take the time to get things needed made and to put more effort and love into the game we are creating. We do not want to put out a super buggy, and unfinished game. We would like to also establish why we don't frequently post devblogs, or any updates here for that matter. We are wanting to avoid spoiling any neat mechanics or parts of the story. In order to achieve this, we have to be very limited with what we put out into the public eye. Just know, we are still actively working on the game. With that being said, we are prepping for the first video teasers/trailers to come out on steam and YouTube, so stay tuned! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44787599/4ef6fa4249514da731520b96d8b7a307f953c91b.png FAQ - What is DECAYED?
