Overview
Description

In Dead State, you must organize a group of survivors in a collapsing Texas town, fortify a shelter, and scavenge for food and supplies while the undead roam the streets. The game blends base‑building, tactical turn‑based combat, and deep narrative choices to create a high‑tension survival experience. Your decisions shape the story, relationships, and the fate of your community as you negotiate with rival factions and maintain order inside the shelter. Every choice matters in this gritty, horror‑infused sandbox RPG.

NEO Scavenger thrusts you into a harsh post‑apocalyptic world where every decision can mean life or death. Each turn you choose where to travel, what to scavenge, and how to interact with strangers, while managing hunger, thirst, fatigue, and temperature. Your starting abilities shape your strategy, and as you explore you piece together the mystery of who you are. The game blends role‑playing depth with unforgiving survival mechanics in a turn‑based indie experience.
