About the Game

Description:

In a world long since drowned and devoured by death, DEAD CITIES casts you into the remnants of civilization—an endless archipelago shrouded in fog, madness, and the restless dead. Navigate the desolate ocean by boat, land on forgotten islands, and scavenge for scarce resources in a desperate struggle to survive.

The undead roam the ruins, mindless yet relentless. But something deeper stirs beneath the waves—something ancient, unknowable, and hungry. As you explore, you'll uncover cryptic journals, arcane relics, and fractured memories of a world consumed by its own secrets.

Inspired by DayZ's tense, open-ended survival mechanics and the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft, DEAD CITIES offers an unforgiving journey through a haunting, immersive world where every island tells a story—and not all of them want to be remembered.

Key Features:

  • Atmospheric Exploration: Travel by small boat between eerie, isolated islands. Each one is hand-crafted with unique challenges, lore, and threats.

  • Survival at Sea and Shore: Manage hunger, thirst. Scavenge for supplies, battle by sea and shore.

  • Dynamic Threats: From undead husks to nightmarish abominations from the deep, danger lurks in every shadow and beneath every wave.

  • Uncover the Truth: Piece together the story of a sunken world through environmental storytelling.

  • Solo & Multiplayer Survival: A deeply immersive single-player or multiplayer experience with emergent gameplay, unpredictable encounters, and no hand-holding.

The ocean is silent. The world is dead. But something waits below.
