About the Game

War. War always changes. First, it was nuclear apocalypse, then it was the AI that took control over most of those who remained, turning them into zombie-cyborgs. In this free multiplayer sandbox survival game, join the factions of resistance, wipe out the z-cyborgs, and build new cities from the ashes. Attack and defend, build and destroy, mine and dig, survive and create.

In these procedurally generated worlds, progress with your character, enhance your skills and unveil dangerous conspiracies between AI and humans. Join either good or bad forces, select your role, and complete procedurally generated quests.

Scavenge for scrap and food, mine rocks, cut trees, craft items and machinery, build your base and defend it.

Compete, trade and cooperate both with other players and NPCs at a big cross-platform official server, or embark on your own single-player (as well as limited co-op) adventure.

Choose between 3D perspective style and 2D top-down retro style.

The game is going to be cross-platform and will be accessible both through Steam and a browser (via game's website link).
