Cruel World

Cruel World is a survival game set on a scorched, barren Earth. Soulless machines destroy what remains of life, people hide in city ruins, and terrible creatures lurk beneath them. You search for food and shelter, explore, build and fight; whether you can make the world better depends on you.

Surviving the wasteland

You manage health, stamina, hunger and thirst while scavenging with an inventory limited by both weight and volume. Your carried load affects movement speed and stamina reserves. The implemented crafting system is simplified and uses workbenches.

You can use firearms and melee weapons, fight enemies and employ basic stealth. The current enemy types are bandits and robots, with basic AI that patrols areas. The game also has a combat system and a test location.

Planned additions

Planned features include weapon wear and equipment damage; construction of walls, furniture and decorations; and dismantling or destroying map objects to obtain resources. Other planned systems include day and night cycles, weather effects, a character editor, clothing, armor and backpacks, and object interactions with progress bars and unique animations.

Further plans include more detailed player needs and conditions such as fractures, heat stroke and exhaustion; improved combat, stealth and AI; and new enemies including different gangs, mutants and aggressive wildlife. The plans also include advanced crafting with production chains, transport, co-op, and work on graphics, sound, animation, the interface, performance, optimization and bug fixes.
