About the Game

It is a thought that crosses everyone's mind in the dead of night: What if I wake up tomorrow, and I am the only one left? For Denis, that intrusive thought just became reality. Your family is missing. The neighbors are gone.

No One Returns is a third-person survival horror game that trades the traditional ruined, post-apocalyptic wasteland for the unsettling tension of a perfectly normal, empty city. You step into the shoes of Denis as he leaves his home to find out what happened to his family.

But the silence does not mean you are alone...

Explore an Untouched City

Experience a fresh take on the horror genre. The environment is not destroyed or overgrown with vines. It is just chillingly empty. Navigate through familiar, everyday locations that have been turned into unsettling liminal spaces.

Classic Survival CombatĀ 

The missing population has been replaced by frightening zombies. This is a true survival experience where ammunition and health supplies are severely limited. You must manage your resources carefully and make every shot count.

Playable on Steam Deck

No One Returns has been thoroughly tested on the Steam Deck! You can expect a smooth, stable experience running at 35+ FPS on Medium settings. The game also looks fantastic on the Steam Deck OLED, with default brightness levels optimized so no manual gamma adjustments are required.

100% Handcrafted (No Generative AI)

No One Returns does not use any generative AI. The voice acting, 3D models, character animations, 2D images, music, and sound effects are either handcrafted directly by Groovy Zebra Studio, commissioned from professional artists, or purchased from human-made asset stores.
