About this game
This is an unconventional post-apocalyptic survival sandbox game. Players will abandon endless combat and instead immerse themselves in a gritty, authentic apocalypse survival experience.
Through a first-person perspective, players will gather resources, craft tools, construct fortified bases, and explore surrounding areas to scavenge anything that aids survival.
Upcoming Features & Gameplay:
Faction Diplomacy & Conflict: Negotiate with factions through bartering and alliances, or rally others to oppose them. The world’s political landscape will dynamically shift based on player decisions.
Survivor Rescue & Colony Building: Rescue survivors scattered across the wasteland and establish thriving settlements for them. As trust grows, survivors may join your crew, bolstering your forces to dominate the wasteland.

Remade the Hideout scene to fix severe frame rate drops. We apologize that we had to remake this scene to fully fix the previous bug.
