Greetings Survivors,

We hope you’re all doing well out there in the wasteland. If not, we hope you’re at least shambling responsibly and avoiding heavily armed neighborhoods. Enjoying the demo? Please leave us a Steam review so more doomed weirdos can find the apocalypse.

Update To The Apocalypse

We’ve just rolled out a chunky new update to the demo, packed with fresh chaos to dive into. So if you haven’t thrown yourself into the apocalypse yet, this is your sign.

YOU vs Zombies Demo The apocalypse now now has :

  • More balance

  • More polish

  • More controller support

  • More clarity

  • More bugs fixed

  • AND more death 😉

The Demo Isn’t Deadly Enough?! Ok BET!

The zombies would like you to know they’ve taken the recent balance feedback personally and are now putting significantly more effort into murder. The apocalypse is now trickier, meaner, and significantly less interested in your long-term survival.

You Can Now Generate New Weirdos Heroes

We’ve also reset generated heroes again, which means EVERYONE gets 2 fresh Ritual generations to test the updated demo with brand new timeline disasters.

Your previous heroes have been “retired from active timeline duty.” They definitely weren’t torn apart by the Ritual while screaming. 😬

Need inspiration for your next doomed survivor? Pause the video below and let fate decide 👇

Thank you again to everyone playing the demo, breaking the timeline, and sending feedback. Want to share your hero creations, survival stories, and horrible mistakes? The bunker’s waiting for you on Discord 💚 More soon, The 10Six Team 🧟

Full Patch Notes

🧠 GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

  • Upgraded character select screen

  • Tutorial split into 3 screens because the old one was flashbanging new survivors with information

  • Added more visible stat indicators

  • Search objectives are now significantly harder to completely ignore while standing directly on top of them

  • New text added across level-up cards

  • Survivors who become zombies now have more horrifying things to say about the experience

  • Ash & Morgan now speak more during the Ritual

  • Level-up card logic improved

🎮 CONTROLLER / UI / HUMAN TECHNOLOGY

  • Massive controller overhaul so you no longer feel personally attacked by the UI

  • Pause menu flow improved

  • Secondary ability icon now reflects your secondary ability

  • You can now launch in windowed mode

💀 GAMEPLAY BALANCE

  • Apparently you want more pain?! So the demo is now more challenging with a massive balance pass across attacks, cooldowns, XP curve, and general “why are you all surviving so easily?” tuning

  • Added more analytics so we can study survivor behaviour and make more balancing improvements

  • We’ve added pauses between horde waves so you have a brief moment to reflect on your mistakes.

🌫️ WORLD STUFF

  • Added a new texture loading system so the apocalypse arrives with less screaming

  • Updated glyph art at level start/end

  • Charge attacks now look significantly more dramatic and dangerous

  • Added new fog visuals and warnings to remind survivors that walking into the deadly red mist is, in fact, a terrible idea.

  • Fixed various level issues across the city, carpark, rural town, and office maps where reality was behaving incorrectly

🪲 BUG SQUASHING

  • NPCs have stopped spawning with strange little metal shoes

  • Zombies no longer awkwardly linger after objectives

  • Loads of misc. bug fixes, polish, and emergency timeline repairs
