About the Game

Explore, scavenge, and survive in a city filled with death

This is a pixel-art zombie game that blends post-apocalyptic survival, extraction looting, base building, and biological automation. Venture into a virus-ravaged city, gather resources, defeat enemies, and bring your loot back to base alive.

Enter dangerous zones, scavenge supplies, and make it out alive

Every expedition is risky. Plan your route carefully, search ruins, streets, and facilities for food, materials, medicine, and equipment, then extract safely. Only the supplies you bring back alive are truly yours.

Build your base and create a stable survival loop

Use the resources you collect to expand your base and unlock new survival functions. Craft tools, process materials, stockpile supplies, organize production, and slowly turn your shelter into a real stronghold.

Recruit your “zombie friends”

You are not alone. Recruit your “zombie friends” to help maintain your base, take on labor, and support more efficient production.

Discover a unique form of biological automation

In this broken world, automation no longer relies on traditional assembly lines. Instead, it runs on a strange new biological logic, keeping your base alive and making every expedition more efficient.

Farm, craft, and produce, prepare for deeper exploration

Grow your own food, create combat supplies and consumables, and keep improving your base so you can push deeper into the city with every run.

Hundreds of weapons, drugs, and foods, shape your own way to survive

From melee weapons to ranged firepower, from recovery drugs to functional food, you can combine gear based on the dangers ahead and build a survival style that fits you best.

Arm yourself and face hordes, elites, and boss enemies

The deeper you go, the greater the danger becomes. Beyond ordinary infected, you will encounter more dangerous special enemies and boss-level threats, some of which may even attack your base directly.

You will grow stronger, but your enemies will not stop evolving either.

There is more than just zombies in this city

Many survivors are still roaming the ruins. Some may become your partners, traders, and allies, while others may reveal their true nature when resources are on the line.

In the apocalypse, your best friend may also become your deadliest enemy.

Stay alive and uncover the truth behind the spreading virus

Through exploration, construction, and combat, you will gradually move closer to the truth behind this disaster.

Of course, none of that matters if you do not survive…
