The Dead Await is available NOW in Early Access!
Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the game's development. The feedback you have shared after playing the Prologue gave us so much to work with to help build this game up even better than it could've been. We look forward to seeing even more feedback and suggestions from you!
🌏 Traverse the Open World
Explore a vast world torn apart by a zombie apocalypse, from derelict cities full of loot and zombies to new settlements founded by survivors with opportunity and backstabbing abound. Gather food, water, fuel, and gear to survive the drive while managing your resources to ensure everyone gets to the destination safely.
🃏 Stack the Perfect Cards for Combat
Build the survivor you want using a robust attribute, skill, and perk system. Experiment with combinations and character builds, from a suave lockpicker to a mindless berserker and everything in-between. Build up your deck during your travels, taking a team of rag-tag survivors to veterans with incredibly rare cards at their disposal!
🚗 Upgrade Your Death Drive
The caravan is at the heart of your journey to discover the truth. Upgrade it with workbenches, storage, and other features to turn it into a true mobile base. Swap out vehicle components to modify the caravan's performance. Engine, suspension, tires, all affect how you traverse the world - and your chances of surviving!
We're launching the game with beta branch already available:

As we're a smaller studio, character voice-overs were never in our plans. Furthermore, we need to stick to our deadlines with the content that's already on the roadmap.
Think of it as an additional feature provided for the players who absolutely need to hear voices to be able to play...
Depending on your opinion, we'll try our best to improve what's already there - if this is something our playerbase wishes!
This feature is only available and can be enabled or disabled on beta branch.
