About the Game

Step into a ruined world where every mission could be your last.
Ave Trail is a fast-paced 2D survival game where you play as a lone survivor, scavenging resources, upgrading your village, and racing against time to develop a cure.

Face swarms of relentless zombies in high-pressure missions where running is often your only option. Return to your village to spend your hard-earned resources wisely: enhance your base, unlock powerful skills, or invest in vaccine research to unlock the true ending.

But resources are scarce, and every decision could mean life or death—for you or humanity.

Features:

  • Top-down 2D survival-action gameplay

  • Fast and unpredictable zombies

  • Upgradeable village hub

  • Skill system with progression over time

  • Develop and distribute a vaccine to beat the game

  • Playtime: 30 minutes to 1.5 hours

  • High replay value through player choice and progression paths

  • Immersive sound design and a constant feeling of tension

Will you survive long enough to save humanity?
