About this game
SURVIVOR 01 is a retro-futuristic, text-based extraction game. You play as a nameless survivor, trying to stay alive in this world with nothing but an old detector at your side.
Do Whatever It Takes to Survive!
Use your detector to search for weapons and supplies. Fight off the monsters you encounter—or, if they’re too much for you, maybe running away is the smarter choice?
Complete Your Objective and Extract!
Find your mission objective and make it out alive to earn more money!
Talk to Various NPCs!
Sometimes, NPCs may show up at your doorstep. Maybe you can get to know them a little better?
Encounter Strange Events and Make Your Choices!
You’ll encounter all kinds of events that force you to make decisions. Some may be insignificant, while others could change the fate of both you and the entire world.
Upgrade Your Shelter!
As time passes, the outside world may become increasingly dangerous. Building and upgrading your shelter could be the key to survival.
