Deadhold: Roguelite, Zombie Apocalypse, Survival/Strategy
Will your people survive?
Use your survivors to scavenge for resources, fortify your base, and defend against the undead horde! How you manage their energy and stress in the daytime will determine who lives and who dies when the zombies come at night.
Choose from randomly dealt survivors, resources, and modifiers as you travel through unique locations, battling the ever-changing undead.
Purchase upgrades to improve your runs and explore new strategies.
If you don’t take it, someone else will.
In the day, spend your survivors' energy scavenging for resources or to heal and recover from stress.
Be careful, scavenging comes with its own risks. You might get injured, attract more zombies, or develop the infection!
Assigning jobs to the right people is crucial. Kevin, a gardener, may be better staying home and helping grow more food, while Angela, a hiker, is perfect for hauling extra goods back to the safehouse.
It doesn’t have to last, it just needs to buy us time.
Use materials to build defenses and facilities to support your survival.
Build barricades and traps to help keep the undead at bay.
Grow food with gardens and establish better positioning with watchtowers.
They’re coming. Be ready.
Position your survivors to improve their chances of lasting another night.
Trigger traps at opportune times to maximize your damage.
There's no winning in the zombie apocalypse, only surviving.
Select a loadout, traverse a map of randomly dealt locations, and pick your path for survival.
You'll have to make stops for fuel and decide how long you're willing to fight before continuing on.
Accept new survivors into your community to stay strong as the horde evolves.
A variety of zombies are coming your way: Walkers, Runners, Brutes, Boomers, Spitters, and more!
