About The Dead Thread
The Dead Thread is a third-person survival horror game set in Maple Town during a zombie outbreak. Beth and Dan are trapped in the chaos and must find a way out while confronting the undead and other horrors. The main campaign follows Beth, while separate action-focused challenges put you in Serena’s shoes.
Explore Maple Town
The town is a sprawling, interconnected area of city streets, back alleys, sewers, pubs, butcher shops, abandoned schools, casinos and more. You search for supplies, uncover hidden paths and explore what lies around the next corner.
Manage your supplies
Resources are limited and inventory space is tight, so you choose what to carry, leave behind or save for later. Bullets, healing items and crafting materials are all scarce.
Clothing is part of survival, not just a cosmetic choice. You collect materials, find garments, and craft and repair outfits, mixing and matching them freely. Clothes provide protection and can be damaged or torn apart in combat.
Face the threats
You encounter relentless hordes, alluring female zombies and towering bosses. Any encounter can turn deadly.
Game modes
The main campaign offers the classic survival horror experience. For faster action, you can play 15–20 minute Game Modes built around intense combat. These challenges feature Serena, while Beth leads the campaign.
