Experience an alternate retelling of DINOBREAK with a brand new fully voiced adventure as Alex and Rin try to escape Cypress Ridge in the midst of a dino invasion! Pull up to the arcade cabinet, pop in a quarter, and start shooting!
Once you're through the story, things get... messy. Level up Alex's arsenal in the Arrange Mode by beating your high scores, and venture into harder difficulties in the semi-procedurally generated Mutation Matrix where the entire game is remixed!
Oh, and did we mention? The undead came to play too! In all non-story modes you can choose to face dinos, undead, or a mixture of the two!
It's a ridiculous romp through the destruction of Cypress Ridge. Have fun and don't let the dinos bite!
Since the holidays ended, we've been hunkering down and working on all things Outbreak: Shades of Horror! We wanted to come up for air and give you all a quick update on what we've been up to!
First, thank you to everyone who has played the Steam & Xbox Series X|S versions of the game, spread the word, and given us feedback! We are thrilled that everyone is playing and enjoying the ongoing Winter Wonderland and DINOBREAK crossover content! We will continue to update and improve the game based on player feedback.
Speaking of seasonal content, we're hard at work on the next seasonal event, which is coming this Spring! Once we're a little closer to deployment, we'll have more information to share.
We're still finalizing timelines and specifics, but there's a lot of other stuff coming up! Here's a small preview on top of the aforementioned seasonal content...
You can expect news regarding cross-platform multiplayer in the next few weeks.
New DLC content is being planned for release down the line.
Work continues on the PlayStation 5 version of the game. We'll share more details as we approach Spring!
Progress on Story Mode remains steady. This is another area we'll be talking more about in the Spring!
We want to take this time to thank everyone for their support and patience as we've continued to build out Outbreak: Shades of Horror. Game development is no easy task, and with a game as cutting edge as Shades of Horror that includes a large amount of content, features, and supported platforms, it's certainly challenging as a small indie team to craft.
We're extremely excited for you all to enjoy what we've been working so hard on, so we humbly ask for a little more time before we share and release our next wave of zombie-slaying mayhem.
Until next time, take care Survivors!
If you have yet to try out Outbreak: Shades of Horror, we've got great news! The game, the Dinobreak Crossover Character Pack DLC, and the Pure Gold Weapon Skin DLC are discounted 30% as part of the Steam Winter Sale now through January 5th!

Trials of Hank: While Lydia is traversing the underground in Chromatic Split, fan-favorite Hank hits the rooftops in this over-the-top side campaign where the answers to all of life’s problems are lead, explosions, and more lead! Will Hank complete his mission, or will the monsters that haunt the Cypress Ridge skyline be too much for him to handle?
Photo Mode: Access a rich set of tools and controls to take frighteningly beautiful snapshots of your adventures at any time. Offline, the action will pause so you can stage detailed scenes and scout your surroundings, whereas online the action will continue so your co-op partners don’t suddenly find themselves unable to play. Film at your own risk!
Twelve Unique Playable Characters: Choose between a diverse cast of playable Survivors with different classes, abilities, stats, and loadouts. When playing as any character in any mode, your progress levels up that character and also helps complete challenges. You’ll earn XP, Ferret Tickets, new items and weapons, and other surprises as you play more and more!
Plenty of Unlockable Content: As players progress and level up their characters, they’ll find ways to unlock all kinds of customizations: earn shirts, glasses, hats, weapon skins, and even whole outfits. Once unlocked, any cosmetic can be used with any playable character in any combination; the possibilities are endless!
Challenges and Events: Seasonal and game-crossover events begin immediately with a Halloween celebration and DINOBREAK-themed content and cosmetics.

Enjoy fighting off legions of zombies in the battle to escape Cypress Ridge, and keep on survivin’!
Getting to this moment has been nearly five years in the making, and we are excited to give our loyal Survivors a first look at Cypress Ridge. We are kicking things off through the release of a Steam Early Access version of SoH. We consider this version a sneak peak - or a Jump Scare - of what’s to come.
Players will be able to access gameplay from our base of operations: Cypress Reel. Once the town’s movie theater, Cypress Reel is now a bustling headquarters for our scrappy Survivors.
At Cypress Reel, players will be able to switch between available Survivors, get acclimated to the game’s controls and weapons, redeem and customize clothing and cosmetics, and access the core modes SoH has to offer. During the sneak peek, two of our main modes, Raid and Invasion, will be fully playable both offline in single-player and online in co-op over the network.
Raid Mode: Save civilians and make it to the extraction point in this action-packed gauntlet. Defeat enemies to find important weapons, ammo, and items, but don’t take too long; as you spend more time in one of many maps, enemies become stronger and deadlier.
Invasion Mode: The undead are closing in on your position, and you need to defend the innocent denizens of Cypress Ridge! Fortify your defenses with buildable traps, turrets, and stations before hordes of zombies come to ruin your day. Make sure you protect your Furos generators too, or else you’ll find yourself without the resources to stay alive as the action ramps up. Enjoy unique modifiers that keep the experience fresh every round!
In between matches, stroll into the Cypress Reel Arcade to enjoy a host of frenetic mini-games! Can you survive the Boss Rush gauntlet? Will you be able to skip a creepy rural town in Looming Dread? Test your reflexes as you escape a flooding subway tunnel in Collapse! While short and sweet, these mini-games will put your skills through drills! Plus – with adjustable difficulties, there’s always new challenges to face.
Ten Survivors will be playable in the Sneak Peek. When playing as any character in any mode, your progress levels up that character and also helps complete challenges. You’ll earn XP, Ferret Tickets, new items and weapons, and other surprises as you play more and more!
While there are lots of free customizations to earn, Survivors also have a chance to earn Ferret Tickets. With these, you can shop at Ferret’s Emporium, the only remaining post-apocalyptic retailer in Cypress Ridge. Shirts, glasses, hats, weapon skins, and even whole outfits – you name it, Ferret’s Emporium has it all! Redeem Ferret Tickets at Cypress Reel’s many gacha machines to earn and freely use all of them to customize each of your Survivors as you see fit.
Cypress Reel will evolve alongside Shades of Horror as it grows and expands. You can look forward to seasonal and game-crossover events. At the launch of SoH’s sneak peek, our first season will be Halloween, and our first DDS game-crossover will be with DINOBREAK. You’ll be able to not only enjoy fun decorations in the theater, but also special challenges to complete, some with unique rewards.
But wait; there’s more! At the sneak peak’s launch, all players will have access to both the online multiplayer and the single-player, offline versions of SoH: Chromatic Split and Trials of Hank.
SoH: Chromatic Split: Enjoy the classic, three act prequel to the main game, now enhanced with new weapons, items, and mechanics. Can Lydia get essential information from her contact in the Cypress Ridge underground before it’s too late?
Trials of Hank: While Lydia is traversing the underground in Chromatic Split, fan-favorite Hank hits the rooftops in this over-the-top side campaign where the answers to all of life’s problems are lead, explosions, and more lead! Will Hank complete his mission, or will the monsters that haunt the Cypress Ridge skyline be too much for him to handle?
In our coming soon section: our Story Mode. We need a bit more time before we’re ready to let you access our most ambitious campaign and narrative yet, and we’ll have more details about it when it’s closer to release. Please excuse our blood and dust, and thank you for your patience!
This is just the beginning of our roll-out for Outbreak: Shades of Horror. In the future, the game will be available on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 as previously announced. We do not yet have a timeframe for the console versions’ release, but you can expect to hear more details in the future.
The Early Access version of Outbreak: Shades of Horror will launch for PC via Steam on October 24th at a price-point of $29.99 USD.
Please stay tuned for more updates regarding Outbreak: Shades of Horror and its development. We hope you’re excited to try the game starting on October 24th!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1932190/Outbreak_Shades_of_Horror/
Cypress Reel
This playground is where you and your friends can group up and enter the game's various modes! You can select your character (across over 25 options!) and practice your controls, and you can also test your mettle at the obstacle course, improve your combat prowess, check out the game's various abilities and items, and so much more! Over time, Cypress Reel will expand with new content and special events!
Story mode
This is the survival horror campaign you're all expecting! Manage your resources and inventory, defeat menacing zombies, solve puzzles, and find notes as you explore colossal maps with awesome set-pieces and challenging encounters. Each episode will play out in explosive fashion, with multiple routes and many secrets to discover.
Invasion mode
A different flavor of survival. You'll face down endless enemy hordes as you attempt to both live and protect innocents. Before the game begins, you have a small period of time to fortify your base with turrets, traps, and more. Once the creatures appear, you'll need to annihilate hundreds of them without losing all of your lives or your civilians in the heat of battle. Multiple maps will be available!
Raid mode
This arcade-style experience is a blast. Scout sprawling, tight maps, take on the undead masses, and rescue trapped civilians before time runs out! As with the rest of Outbreak: Shades of Horror, Raid mode will be updated with new content and maps over time. Fans of our previous games may even find some fun nods to our history.
Mini-games
For some quick action, check out a selection of extra game types inspired by classic survival horror masterpieces. From Boss Rush, where you'll face a parade of tough monsters, to Collapse, where you'll flee a nasty subway on the brink of destruction, these scenarios are fun to play through over and over. Look forward to new mini-games as the game continues to grow!
We hope you're excited to experience the wild world of Cypress Ridge when Outbreak: Shades of Horror begins its descent onto Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and on PC via Steam this year! We will of course continue to update you with the latest information and more specific release timing as development continues. Thank you as always for your support and patience.
