About this game
A survival challenge game set in a post-apocalyptic zombie world.
In the game, day and night alternate. Zombies are inactive during the day, allowing you to safely build your home. At night, you must defend your camp against hordes of zombies!
It's a light blend of "Simulation Management (Daytime)" + "Tactical Combat (Nighttime)," emphasizing strategy over complex operations, with some roguelite elements. Each playthrough offers a unique experience! You can experiment with different strategies and playstyles to challenge your survival limits!
The game features over 30 types of zombies, each with unique special abilities. You must adapt your tactical approach and playstyle based on the types of zombies you encounter, or you'll easily find yourself in a passive and difficult situation.
The game contains over 30 types of items and special supplies. You need to plan your strategy around the items you hold, as a single small item can decide the outcome of a battle at a critical moment. Meanwhile, over ten different professions each have distinctive talents, which play important roles in both camp development and combat.
You can modify weapons or survivors to give weapons unique traits and grant survivors bio-enhanced abilities, unlocking new effects or powers. This system is particularly crucial in the later stages of the game's combat.
The game centers around the "Survival Challenge," where you can push your limits to survive as long as possible. It also offers two completion modes: "Standard Clear" and "Perfect Clear." To achieve the latter and potentially save all survivors, you must accomplish more than just basic survival.

• Reduced the Energy cost for the Building Manager from 70 points to 5 points (daily consumption is 5 Energy, so 5 is the minimum threshold). • Added the "Critical Mutation Period" mechanic: When developing antibodies or reaching Day 50, the "Critical Mutation Period" will automatically trigger. Zombies will level up twice per day during this period (previously only once per day initially). • Increased the natural growth rate of the Large Transceiver and Viral Antibodies from 1% per day to 3% per day. • Unlocked the Large Transceiver and Viral Antibodies at Level 7 of the "Radio Station" and "Medical Room" respectively (previously required Level 8 in the old version). • When using the item "Piggy Bank," holding the "+" or "-" buttons now allows quick number adjustment. • Overall enhancement of building durability and defense. • Reduced the Energy recovery of "Dormitory" from +8 per level to +6 per level (the base recovery at Level 1 remains 8 points). • Slightly increased the injury rate during exploration, while slightly reducing the infection increase after injury. • Slightly nerfed the weapon trait "Soul Reaper Sword." • Optimized or fixed several known issues.Read full article on Community Announcements (applebanana1589)AnnouncementsOfficial
