Welcome, Survivors!
How have you been? We're pretty busy these days as we get closer to the Early Access release
date (only ~3 weeks to go!), but we wanted to give you some news about the project ːheart_meː
Demo Update!
We're updating the YAZS demo version to bring it closer to the current state of the development.
The new demo includes many visual & quality of life improvements, such as:
- Better graphics, audio & optimization.
- New survivor recruitment system.
- Item & power-up game mechanics.
- Achievements & team stats interfaces.
- Visual cues for off-screen drops.
- Ability & weapon tweaks / reworks.
- More in-game settings.
Be sure to give it a try! There's still a lot of work-in-progress/placeholder stuff in there, so please be patient with us as we test & work things out to create a great experience for everyone!
This demo is much more advanced than the previous one, so the save file is not compatible with the previous one, sorry! Keep in mind that this is not the final demo, and the progress will not be transferred to the full version of the game just yet - we will try to make this possible in future demo builds!
You can download it both on the [YAZS Store Page] or by pressing the "Play for Free!" button below:

PS if you'd like to return to the old Next Fest demo - no problem! We've added an old beta branch in the game's demo settings on Steam, you can switch it back there.
But wait! There's more!
Survivor Preview: The Medic 🍎
An apple a day won't keep her away!
The Medic is our first support character.
She trades high damage for high healing. The Medic specializes in increasing the overall strength and survivability of her teammates in a variety of ways. For example, her Stimpak ability gives everyone a general stat buff, while her Acid Flasks throwing weapon poisons and weaken your enemies.
She'll be a great help to your team when you need some buffs and healing. Choosing her as your team leader should also be a nice added challenge for the more daring players!
Enemy Preview: The Charger 🚚
The Charger is a new boss enemy that, well, charges a lot. It's best for your team to stay out of his way, but it wouldn't hurt to set him up to attack his brothers.
Yes, he can be used tactically to trample other zombies, much like the Butcher, who swings his weapon blindly at everything - friend or foe. Right now he's just charging a lot, but we'll see what we can do to spice his patterns up a bit. Got any ideas? Be sure to share them!
Until next time!
Be sure to check out the demo & stay tuned as Early Access launches in a few weeks on July 13th!
