Steam Deck & Controller Support

SURVIVE ANYWHERE

Scavland was built with controller and Steam Deck support in mind, so surviving the wastes feels just as natural from your couch as it does from your desk.

With Steam Cloud, your progress follows you. Save your game on PC, pick up your Steam Deck, and continue right where you left off.

Had enough of sitting at your PC? Grab your Deck and hit the couch. Or the bed. Or anywhere slightly more comfortable.

Your save follows you. Unfortunately, so does the Mist.


About the Game

SURVIVE THE WORLD OF SCAVLAND

Scavland is a hardcore survival RPG set in Zalesye, a land ravaged by war and the mysterious Mist.

You are a Vulture - a scavenger surviving on what the old world left behind. Explore abandoned settlements, take dangerous jobs, fight mutants and hostile survivors, and slowly build the equipment and reputation you need to push deeper into the wastes.

Ammunition is scarce, weapons can jam, radiation is everywhere, and preparation can mean the difference between returning with valuable loot or not returning at all.

FIND YOUR PLACE

Zalesye is home to different factions, settlements, traders, scavengers, and survivors, each trying to make a life in what remains of the world.

Meet their people, take quests, build relationships, and decide who you are willing to work with. Your reputation and choices shape how different groups treat you and what opportunities become available.

Some are trying to rebuild society. Others are simply trying to survive it.

EXPLORE ABOVE AND BELOW

Explore a handcrafted open world filled with abandoned structures, dangerous forests, irradiated swamps, hidden locations, mutants, bandits, and remnants of the old world.

But the surface is only part of Scavland.

Discover entrances to underground bunkers and other dangerous locations featuring procedural layouts, creating different spaces to explore across your playthroughs.

The further you leave the safety of known roads and settlements, the greater the danger - and the better the potential rewards.

BUILD YOUR WEAPONS

Weapons are more than something you find and replace.

Collect firearms and attachments throughout the world and customize them to fit your needs. Change components, experiment with different configurations, and build weapons around your preferred playstyle.

Your equipment defines how prepared you are for the journey ahead. Build your loadout around where you are going, what you expect to encounter, and how much you are willing to risk.

WORK. TRADE. BUILD A REPUTATION.

Survival depends on more than what you can find in the wastes.

Traders offer weapons, equipment, attachments, supplies, and other valuable goods - but their best stock has to be earned.

Take jobs, complete requests, and build your reputation with the people of Zalesye. As your relationship improves, new items and opportunities become available.

Every expedition becomes part of a larger cycle:

Prepare. Explore. Scavenge. Survive. Return. Upgrade. Go deeper.

UNCOVER THE MYSTERY OF THE MIST

You survived being near-fatally shot by mysterious soldiers said to have come from a far-away land with no Mist.

Now you want answers.

The people of Zalesye speak of the East as a promised land beyond the RO-29 Highway - somewhere untouched by the Mist and the horrors consuming the Continent.

Whether those stories are true is another question.

Explore Zalesye, follow its stories, help its inhabitants, and uncover what the Mist is - and why you survived when you should have died.
