Outbreak

Outbreak is an online and offline co-op survival horror game set in a deserted hospital infested by the undead. You search the environment for supplies, solve puzzles, learn about the outbreak and fight the horde while managing a very limited inventory. The clock keeps running as enemies hunt you, and your character has only one life, so you must choose whether to take weapons, healing items or tools needed to progress.

Game modes

The Campaign tells the story and can be played alone or in co-op for up to four players. Nightmares Mode is a hardcore, single-player narrative story. In Onslaught Mode, you fight endless waves of enemies alone or with friends. All modes can be played offline in single-player, with pause support; an optional Partner AI bot is available in solo Campaign and Onslaught.

Co-op and multiplayer

Campaign and Onslaught support two-player local split-screen co-op. Online co-op supports up to four players and includes voice chat. Windows and Linux players can play co-op together. The cloud-based multiplayer backend includes a region selector and avoids NAT issues.

Survivors and equipment

You can choose from seven playable heroes, each with unique attributes and starting equipment. The arsenal includes firearms and melee weapons, and you earn essential equipment during play that you can trade with other players. Semi-random enemy and item layouts change between playthroughs, and the game has three difficulty settings.
