About the Game

DREADZONE

The year is 2030, and humanity is on the brink of collapse. A devastating virus, Zeno-29, has swept across the globe, transforming the infected into horrifying mutants and leaving society in ruins. To contain the outbreak, governments have created thousands of isolated zones—quarantined wastelands where the infected are sent to live out their final days.

You are one of the infected. Sent to a remote, desolate zone filled with abandoned factories, crumbling houses, underground hideouts, and wild, untamed terrain, survival is your only option. Supplies are scarce, danger lurks around every corner, and the virus is slowly taking hold of you.

Survive

Gather resources, hunt wildlife, scavenge abandoned ruins, trade with survivors, and complete missions. Construct shelters to protect yourself from the elements and hostile threats. Craft weapons, tools, and essential supplies. Smelt ore, cook food, and prepare for the dangers ahead to stay alive in the unforgiving quarantine zone.

Explore the Zone

Venture into the heart of the quarantine zone, where danger lurks at every corner. Infiltrate abandoned bunkers, forsaken factories, abandoned houses, and many other areas the world has left behind. Navigate a deadly world filled with relentless zombies, terrifying mutants, wild animals, and ruthless soldiers who will shoot on sight.

Your Path

Survival is a choice. Some will focus solely on living out their remaining days, prioritizing basic needs and safety. Align yourself with the last remaining scientists, working toward a cure for the virus or embrace your infection, joining the mutant hordes to wage war against the oppressive government forces.
