About this game
Dusk Survivors is a post-apocalyptic urban tower defense game. The entire city has been submerged by floods of unknown contamination, and nearly everyone has mutated into zombies. You need to navigate the city using various waterborne vehicles. During the day, you must manage your time wisely—whether it's recruiting survivors, building defensive structures, or upgrading ship-mounted weapons—to fend off zombie attacks at dusk and ultimately lead the survivors to safety.
1. Recruiting Survivors
Every day, you will encounter different survivors. They may either come directly to your camp ready to join you or appear somewhere in the city. Usually, it’s difficult to keep all of them, so you’ll need to manage your time wisely to make the right choices among them.
2. Building Defensive Structures
Constructing defensive structures is a crucial task, as they play a vital role in effectively fending off zombie attacks.
3. Upgrading Ship-Mounted Weapons
You can equip your ship with new weapons or enhance existing ones. Of course, it’s important to consider the unique characteristics of each weapon, as they all have their own attributes.
4. Fending Off Zombie Attacks
At dusk each day, zombies may attack from one or two directions. We must defend our camp effectively when the zombies launch their assault.
5. Constructing New Buildings on Strongholds
There are many different strongholds scattered throughout the city. Building various structures on them can significantly enhance our capabilities.
6. Exploring New Unknown Areas
At dusk each day, the attacking zombies will grow in numbers and strength. We need to expand to more strongholds to enhance our capabilities. When venturing into a new unknown area, we must prioritize safety, as the noise from weapon attacks may attract more zombies from the surroundings.
7. Daily Events
Every day, various events may occur in the city. We can head over to investigate and see what’s happening.

Temporarily Suspending the "Dusk Survivors" Demo for Exciting Updates
Since the demo's release, we've gathered valuable player feedback. Based on these insights and our playtesting experience, we've developed an updated plan that introduces new mechanics, such as an electricity system and rooftop construction, while refining existing systems, including water zone mechanics and building functionalities. In this flooded world, we're implementing a power system. Although the main grid is down, survivors can still utilize generators to restore electricity at night and bolster their defenses. Most buildings are underwater, but their rooftops remain usable platforms—vital remnants of civilization. Players will need to defend these rooftops while maximizing their construction potential. Zombies now lurk beneath the surface, ready to attack boats that venture too close. We've removed previous area restrictions to facilitate smoother exploration, and players must clear infested waters to secure safe zones. As dusk falls, zombie attacks become more intense, making robust defenses essential. Our redesigned building system shifts the focus away from boats, greatly enhancing usability. These comprehensive changes promise to elevate the gameplay experience. Since the current demo no longer reflects these improvements, we've decided to suspend it. We will commence new testing once the updates are ready.Read full article on Community Announcements (bishuangshuang666)Patch NotesOfficial
