About the Game

A deadly outbreak. A silent city. A mission that came too late.

In Genebreak, you play as Darbaha, who hears about a mysterious catastrophe in the city of Jeddah. With no clear answers, he returns to check on his friends — but what he finds is far worse than anything he imagined.

By the time he arrives… it’s already too late.

The city has changed. The people have changed.

The infection didn’t just spread — it twisted those infected into unstable, violent creatures. These are not zombies… they are broken remnants of who they once were.

Now trapped inside a collapsing residential complex, Darbaha must fight, survive, and uncover what really happened… if he can make it out alive.

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Genebreak is a first-person survival horror experience focused on tension, claustrophobic environments, and brutal encounters.

No crafting. No guidance. No mercy.

Just survival.

Minimal Inventory, No Pause

Carry only what matters — batteries, keys, fuses.
No safe menus. No breaks. Stay alert.

Unstable Mutants

Enemies behave unpredictably.
Some hunt. Some wait. Some call others.

One Complex, Many Horrors

A single apartment complex filled with danger.
Every corner hides something.

Cinematic Opening

A chilling intro that sets the tone for what’s coming.
