About the Game

1-3 Player Co-op

Play solo or team up with one or two friends. Progression is shared across all players equally. However, all loot and items are only yours to find and keep...

Responsive Top-Down Shooting

Take advantage of the snappy gunplay and movement to fight possessed creatures and corrupted bodies that walk the land in search of any remaining life to consume.

Loot, Craft and Upgrade Weapons and Armour

Delve through untouched containers to find essential ingredients. Use these to craft new gun mods and armour upgrades to ensure your survival. Or, sell them to any merchant you encounter for healing consumables.

Storytelling and Collectables

Complete small puzzles and defeat relentless bosses to discover pieces of the past. Lost tapes and notes that all uncover the world before that once existed.

Character Customization

Use your personal vehicle when deciding to travel to a new location and power up. Your vehicle also provides the ability to customize the appearance of it and your character.
