A Brutal Post-Apocalyptic Turn-Based Survival RPG
Hello, survivor.
Let me introduce you to a game I created entirely on my own—designed with passion, grit, and a love for classic post apocalyptic RPGs pop culture movies and video games.
This is a randomly generated post-apocalyptic survival RPG with deep systems, tough choices, and PERMA-DEATH.
⚠️ PERMA-DEATH WARNING
This game doesn’t care about your snowflake feelings. When you die, your character is gone for good. But don’t worry—you’ll keep the currency you earned and can unlock new survivors with each run.
Retro-Inspired RPG with Modern Survival Depth
I studied the design of classic 90s pop culture media games to craft a world of horror, danger, decay, and discovery. The game uses real photography with a gritty 90s VHS aesthetic to create a truly unique visual atmosphere.
