Category 6

Category 6 is an open-world survival game set in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane. You begin amid the storm’s chaos and must endure its aftermath in a landscape where scavengers, other survivors and aggressive wildlife compete for resources. In story mode, you are more than 100 miles from your loved ones and make your way through the dangers between you and the family waiting at the end of the journey.

The world after the storm

Explore the remains of a once-thriving civilization, uncover hidden locations and secrets beneath the rubble, and travel through diverse biomes with different dangers and opportunities. You can encounter survivors with their own stories, desperate scavengers and dangerous wildlife. The storm has scattered families and shattered lives, and each discovery, setback and triumph shapes your journey.

Two ways to survive

Story mode follows a narrative about the emotional challenges of surviving for yourself and the family you hope to reach. Survival mode offers a different experience: see how many days you can last.

Supplies and resources

Scavenge, gather, craft and trade for tools, weapons and other essentials. You can make improvised shelters, and your inventory sorts items automatically. If you cannot find what you need, trade valuable finds with a merchant, including jewelry, cigarettes and toilet paper. You can chop fallen logs, but not standing trees.

Food, water and shelter are basic needs to manage as you prepare for the journey. Resources are scarce, and everyone is fighting over them. Encounters can earn you XP to unlock character upgrades and may provide crucial supplies.

Health and hardship

Your character can suffer physical ailments such as broken bones and the flu, as well as mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. The choices you make affect these struggles as you navigate the hazardous landscape.
