The Dead Await

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! Be careful: zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove to be 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. There is both 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, the scarcity of resources. 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!
• Build your group of survivalists to work as a team in combat
• 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!
