First Day

First Day is a strategy-focused game about rebuilding civilization after a nuclear apocalypse. A wave of atomic energy has wiped out almost all life, leaving a world of stones, sand and debris. All the planet’s liquid has turned into alcohol, while mutated cacti hold the last safe drinking liquid. Survivors must contend with deadly sandstorms and crowds of zombies.

Rebuild your faction

You gather trash and search it for weapons, tools and other useful items, then create resources for survival and development. Build bases wherever you want, construct fortifications and production facilities, and develop your faction into an empire. You can explore the world and travel to new locations as you rebuild.

Protect your people

Enemies attack your camp, so you defend and repair it while fighting off zombies and other threats. You find survivors and invite them to join your faction, increasing its population. Your people gain experience, learn new skills and improve existing ones; you can also find outfits and equip them.

A world after the apocalypse

The game presents a discussion of the threats posed by nuclear weapons, including their production, storage, use and disposal, as well as nuclear terrorism. Its post-apocalyptic world is built around the idea that survivors can change it by building something new from what remains.
