Survive the Blackout

Survive the Blackout is a narrative survival game set in a plausible modern-day collapse. After a mysterious global power outage sends civilization into chaos, you lead a small group of survivors toward a safe haven. The journey is a branching story shaped by your choices and luck, with a complete story in every playthrough.

A world in ruins

The outage has brought much of the modern world to collapse, without supernatural or fantastical causes. You travel through different regions, each with local storylines, risks and opportunities, and see the ruined world through the survivors’ eyes.

The people you encounter have their own stories, motives and personalities. They include preppers, looters, orphans, healers, murderers, loners, heroes, opportunists and others. Their encounters reveal different perspectives on humanity’s fall.

Lead the survivors

You manage supplies, issue orders, move the group forward, protect its members, maintain morale and help them find a sense of purpose. The survivors offer their opinions; you decide whether to listen or impose your own ideas. Each decision can have immediate and long-term consequences, and choices about the group’s survival can become matters of life and death.

Choices and playthroughs

You make choices as the branching narrative responds to your group’s circumstances. You can base those decisions on your morals, a desperate will to survive or other ideals. The experience is open-ended and non-linear, and each playthrough tells a different but complete story.

You also scavenge for supplies, manage resources and explore the post-collapse world across multiple playthroughs.
