About the Game

The cities are dead.
But they can still hear you.

Zombies & Battery is a third-person zombie survival game focused on stealth, exploration, and sound management.

Search dangerous cities, gather valuable supplies, return to your vehicle, and continue your journey toward a safe zone in the north.

One small mistake can ruin everything.

Watch Your Noise


Sound is the most dangerous thing in this world.

  • Walking
  • Running
  • Opening doors
  • Dropping items
  • Bumping into other players

Every sound can attract zombies.

Throw objects to lure zombies away, create openings, and reach your objective.

Knowing when to move and when to stay still is the key to survival.

Explore the City


Search supermarkets, hospitals, gas stations, warehouses, and relief supply depots to find resources essential for survival.

Discover equipment, supplies, and materials that may help you survive another day.

But not every location offers the same value.

Greater rewards often come with greater risks.

Travel the Roads


After each expedition, return to your vehicle.

Choose your next destination on the world map and travel to a new city.

Each node offers different risks and rewards.

  • Supermarkets
  • Hospitals
  • Gas Stations
  • Supply Depots
  • Survivors
  • Danger Zones
  • Gates

Some paths are safer but less rewarding.

Others are more dangerous but offer greater opportunities.

Every decision affects your chances of survival.

Rescue Survivors


Not everyone is gone.

Survivors can still be found throughout the cities.

Locate them, protect them, and escort them safely back to your vehicle.

Successful rescues provide valuable rewards.

The people you save can shape the way you survive.

Learn New Skills


Every survivor has their own experience and knowledge.

Whenever you rescue a survivor, you may choose one of several training manuals to gain a new passive ability.

  • Jump Higher
  • Run Faster
  • Act Faster
  • Survive Longer

Your choices will define your playstyle.

Acquire Weapons and Armor


Rescued survivors often bring equipment with them.

By rescuing new survivors, you can obtain a variety of weapons and protective gear.

However, equipment doesn't last forever.

  • Weapons break easily
  • Armor deteriorates when damaged
  • Equipment is automatically repaired when traveling to the next area

Weapons are tools for overcoming emergencies.

Most of the time, staying quiet is the safer option.

Adapt to Changing Conditions


Weather and environmental hazards can dramatically affect survival.

  • Rain — Reduces noise
  • Thunderstorms — Briefly mask all sounds
  • Night — Sound travels farther
  • Snow — Amplifies footsteps
  • Ice — Causes slipping
  • Radiation Zones — Limit how long you can stay

Learning to use the environment is just as important as managing your supplies.

Open the Gates


Some routes are blocked by massive gates.

To continue your journey, you'll need to enter control facilities, restore power, and open the way forward.

But these actions generate a lot of noise.

And noise always attracts zombies.

Head North


One vehicle.

A radio signal requesting help.

And countless dangerous cities standing in your way.

Gather supplies.

Rescue survivors.

Learn new skills.

Open the road ahead.

Can you reach the safe zone in the north?
