the Game
Welcome to the first taste of the world of The Dead Await! We’re so excited about our game that we couldn’t wait to share it with you. This special Prologue offering will give you an early glimpse at the world and mechanics of the game. Get ready for an incredible experience with our deck-building open world survival RPG!
The Dead Await is a deck-building open world survival RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. The world as we know it ended, torn apart by hordes of ravenous monsters. Humanity still clings on in the sea of blackened ruins, cold ashes, and man-eating creatures.
You’re the leader of a caravan of survivalists whose goal is to figure out the truth behind the zombie apocalypse and, if possible, build the foundations for a new civilization! But be careful: Zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove the greatest obstacles during your long drive…
- 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. Manage your resources to ensure everyone gets to the destination safely.
- Manage your team’s sanity! Manage the impact of trauma, long-term effects of injuries, and, of course, resource scarcity. Zombies might turn out to be the least of your problems…
- 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.
- Paired with the character system is sophisticated card-based combat. Build up your deck during your travels, taking a team of rag-tag survivors to veterans with incredibly rare cards at their disposal!
- Gear matters: Give your survivors an edge with weapon and equipment mods – plus a good meal – and watch them conquer the wasteland!
- 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!
- Craft everything you need to survive, including the classic nail-mounted baseball bat. They don’t make them like they used to, after all!
- With what you find in the wild, cook meals to give yourself permanent bonuses or a quick fix before a fight!

The art style and general concept feel really cool. However, I came to this game for the easy achievement, and that's what I got. Might check out the full game at some point in the future but who knows.

its one of the best post apocalyptic survival rpgs i ever saw. its realy nice menagement system. maps and missions.
it would be better in my opinion to have
1- a huge variety of weapons - items
2- companion with unique skills
3- dungeon like explorable dungeons , places with loot and deadly random creatures inside.
Developers u are my hope for future. i would buy your game anyway but if you have these 3 as a cherry on top it would be perfect.
