What it's about

Undead outbreak and survival in a zombie apocalypse is the defining setting and narrative driver. Survival amid the ruins of a collapsed civilization in a zombie-ravaged Arizona provides the setting and atmosphere. Enduring a hostile world filled with undead enemies is the central struggle and gameplay loop.

How it plays

Aiming and firing firearms with tactile feedback through tracked VR controllers is the central and most satisfying interaction in the game. Close-quarters combat with melee weapons against nearby undead is a core option, complementing gunplay with physical animation feedback. Managing resources, staying alive against undead threats, and scavenging a hostile world is a core loop.

How it's structured

A bounded, authored story arc guides the player through the zombie apocalypse from beginning to end. A full campaign can be played cooperatively with up to 3 other survivors online, structured as a shared story experience. The game supports solo survival, though co-op is also available; single-player is a significant mode.
