Deadly Infestation

Deadly Infestation is a survival game set in a procedurally generated world infested with zombies. You explore and gather resources, craft supplies and build a base while fighting infected creatures and other dangers. The world is fully destructible.

Gather and build

Resources from nature can be used to make food, weapons, tools, refined items, buildings and objects such as work tables. Water is essential: collect it with a rainwater collector or an underground water collector. Build a base from wood or bricks for protection and a place to store your belongings.

Hunt uninfected animals for meat and other resources. Animals may be aggressive or passive: aggressive ones attack whether or not you provoke them, while passive ones flee when they notice you. Meat is the most nutritious food, and you can make collected food more nutritious by baking or cooking it in an oven or over a fire.

Creatures

The world contains four classes of beings:

• Uninfected animals: may be aggressive and attack without provocation, or passive and run away when they notice you.
• Infected animals: infected by the virus and always aggressive.
• People infected by the virus: grow stronger the longer they have been infected.
• Creature X: its details are confidential.

Skills and progression

You gain experience by performing certain actions and can use the skill tree to improve abilities in five areas:

• Woodwork: higher levels let you produce more complex items at the worktable.
• Strength: increases damage dealt when attacking.
• Survival: increases maximum health, maximum thirst and other survival abilities.
• Resistance: reduces stamina lost while performing actions or increases maximum stamina.
• Efficiency: makes tools and objects more efficient as you level up.

Survive the night

The world cycles between day and night. Build torches, fires and shelters to make it through until dawn. Enemies are harder to see at night, so use a light source or sleep in a bed to speed up the dawn. Each exploration offers a different experience as you investigate what is happening in the world.
