Hey, Survivors!

Enter a world of mystery and suspense, where every decision you make could mean the difference between life and death! Stay wary of more threatening locations - we’ve heard that the zombies have taken their toll on everything on the island of Eden-Nadir. We've also been listening to your feedback and are making changes accordingly.

UE5 updates:

Nests are being upgraded. They can now take over entire houses.
Nests are like hives which will continually spew out infected. The infected will keep coming out until the nest is destroyed - remember, they are highly flammable.
The visuals of nests are being fully updated in line with the UE5 visual updates.
Burn out nests to gain access to the loot inside and stop infected spawning
Some safezone missions might involve clearing nests from the nearby area to ensure the infected population doesn’t overrun the area.
