11 itemsAbout the Game
After a mysterious outbreak tore through the world, survivors fled to remote regions — but even here, the infected roam the dunes, ruins, and abandoned crash sites.
Explore the desert expanse, scavenge wreckage buried beneath drifting sand, and build your own shelter to withstand the threats hiding in the heat haze.
Resources are scarce, the land is unforgiving, and every journey into the open can be your last.
Craft improvised gear, fortify your hideout, and navigate a world where rusted metal, old billboards, and broken machines are all that remain of the past.
But the infected aren’t the only danger — the wasteland itself tests your resilience at every step.
Base Building & Defense: Construct shelters, fortresses, and traps to survive against escalating waves of infected.
Realistic Survival: Manage hunger, thirst, fatigue, and injuries in a hostile environment.
Open-World Exploration: Scavenge towns, laboratories, and abandoned military outposts.
Dynamic Day & Night Cycle: Darkness brings greater dangers and deadlier encounters.
Deep Crafting System: Forge weapons, tools, and medicine from whatever you can find.
