NearEscape

NearEscape is an adventure game about surviving in a world devastated by a zombie virus. You wake in the middle of a city with your memory lost, then follow clues and journals to recover memories of yourself and your family and discover why the world is falling apart. The story takes 8–10 hours.

Explore the city

The open world includes large outdoor areas and many accessible buildings. Day and night change in real time, as do the weather, including rain and fog; the game also features real-time shadows and voxel graphics viewed from a quarter angle.

Survive the outbreak

You search for supplies and try to stay alive alongside a few other survivors. Zombies are highly hostile and attack without reason; their eyesight is poor, but they are sensitive to sound. Mutilated zombies require particular care.

Combat is not always necessary. You can use subway passages for safety, craft bullets and bombs to get past obstacles, or deal with zombies that follow you. Safe shelters are scattered throughout the city. Finding food and water and keeping your mind right helps you reach your family safely; when fighting is unavoidable, you can prepare and craft a powerful weapon.

Weapons and supplies

The game includes 30 or more types of melee weapons and firearms, and more than 20 kinds of outfits. You search for remedies and food needed to survive.
