Something went wrong in the mountains of Pine Ridge County. A decade ago, a classified government research facility buried deep in the wilderness, went silent. Within weeks, so did everything else. No broadcasts. No rescue. No explanation.
The world you knew is gone. Nature has reclaimed the roads, the power grids have long since failed, and the dead outnumber the living a thousand to one. Pine Ridge County is yours now. What's left of it.
Quick Overview
Handcrafted open world of dense mountain forests, decaying towns, and abandoned research facilities
Dynamic day/night cycle - horde attacks every single night, escalating in size and aggression
Two types of infected - Day walkers you can manage. Night infected you need to outthink. Faster, harder to kill, and repelled by light.
Weather system - fog and storms roll in without warning, and anything that limits your visibility after dark can get you killed
Base building and fortification system - construct and reinforce your defenses before nightfall
Scavenge, repair, and drive vehicles across Pine Ridge County
Tiered loot system - better gear hidden in more dangerous locations
Full survival simulation - manage hunger, thirst, injuries, and stamina
Hunt wildlife and scavenge the land to stay fed and supplied
Skill tree progression - grow stronger the longer you survive
Trade with NPC survivors scattered across the county
Vast open world
A handcrafted open world spanning dense mountain forests, crumbling infrastructure, and overgrown ruins. A decade after the collapse, nature is slowly reclaiming what civilization left behind, but the abandoned research facilities still litter the mountainside, silent and waiting. Every location tells a story. Not all of them have endings yet.
Survive the Day. Dread the Night
Daylight belongs to the living, barely. Use every hour to scavenge, build, and prepare. When darkness falls, the horde descends on your position without fail. The infected that roam Pine Ridge during the day are dangerous. The ones that come out at night are something else entirely, mutated, faster, and harder to put down. Every dawn you survive is borrowed time.
Build, Fortify, and Hold the Line
Your base is the only thing standing between you and the horde. Scavenge materials from across the county, construct walls and defenses, and reinforce your position night after night. What you build, and how well you build it, determines whether you see morning.
Loot, Craft, and Gear Up
Supplies are scarce and spread thin across a sprawling open world. Scavenge abandoned towns, ransack ARC facilities, and push into dangerous territory for higher-tier loot. Craft weapons, tools, and equipment from what you find, and manage your hunger, thirst, and injuries.
Drive, repair and customize vehicles
Locate and repair vehicles scattered across Pine Ridge County. Push deeper into dangerous territory for the supplies you can't find close to home. Just make sure you're back before dark.
