Dead Zone (Alpha 0.1.3)

KEEP THE LIGHT CLOSE.

The streets are empty. The houses are not.

Dead Zone is an atmospheric top-down zombie survival game. Search a ruined town for supplies, manage every slot in your backpack, and hold out against growing waves of infected.

Face the night alone—or bring your friends into the darkness in experimental co-op for up to four players.

SURVIVE THE NIGHT

• Light is your lifeline. Sweep the darkness with your flashlight and listen for approaching footsteps.
• Make every bullet count. Switch between a knife, pistol and rifle. Reload carefully and keep spare ammunition in your inventory.
• Loot with a plan. Arrange and rotate items in a grid backpack. Recover ammunition, bandages and weapons from the world.
• Find shelter. Explore furnished houses, open and close doors, and prepare for infected trying to break inside.
• Hold the line. Survive escalating waves and encounters with distinct special infected.

CO-OP IS HERE

The darkness is better faced together.

Team up with 2–4 players in experimental, player-hosted co-op. Search houses together, cover your friends while they reload, and watch the streets as your team collects supplies.

Split up to find loot faster—or stay close when the infected begin to surround you.

• Host your own session. One player runs the world on their own PC.
• Choose your identity. Pick a nickname without creating an account.
• Set up your room. Choose a room name and player limit, then share the connection code with your friends.
• Get ready together. The lobby displays each player’s name and readiness: green READY or red NOT READY.
• Survive as a team. Coordinate your movement, ammunition and flashlight coverage through the growing waves.

One host. Up to three friends. One long night.

CONNECTION INFORMATION

LAN connections use the host’s local address. Internet play requires a reachable host address and UDP port forwarding, using port 29741 by default.

Some connections, including CGNAT, may prevent direct hosting. There is currently no relay or matchmaking service.

Players must join the lobby before the host starts the game. The host must remain connected; if the host leaves, the session ends.
