Dead

Dead is an open-world survival game set on an island where mutated dead hunt humans. You start at level 1 with nothing, gather items to craft tools, and build a base to protect yourself from enemy AI and other players. You can set up camp wherever you choose, but the dead are everywhere.

Survive and build

Water is an early priority. You can find water in the world, though the dead lurk in its depths; over time, rainwater traps in your base offer a safer source. Berries alone will not sustain you, and getting meat from creatures brings its own dangers.

Crafting tools lets you gather larger resources. You also craft foundations and weapons for building, hunting and defense. Bases have five building tiers, from weak thatch to strong forged steel, and larger bases offer greater protection.

Tame the dead

You can tame creatures to fight for you, harvest resources faster and help you travel across the open-world map. To tame an undead creature, tranquilize it and burn a special herb nearby to bring it under your control. Once tamed, creatures can be mounted and ridden, or fitted with brain implants so you can control them from your base using a satellite unit.
