The Fifth Day

The Fifth Day is a survival game set in a world left behind after machines have caused mankind's extinction. You play as one of those machines, exploring, building and hacking to survive in a hostile landscape. You can compete online or face the wastes alone in offline freeplay.

Explore the wastes

Rogue AI roam lands once inhabited by their human creators. You search dense forests, radioactive wastes and abandoned cities for resources and a way to survive another day.

Build and power a settlement

Gather resources to construct a settlement, from a small wooden encampment to a reinforced bunker with automated defenses against intruding AI. To power your mechanical body, you must find and manage power sources, each with different benefits and costs. You can also hack enemy AI to follow your commands or support your efforts.

Online competition

In competitive online matches, you survive alone or with a partner through five days and compete to emerge as the superior machines of the new world. Matches use elimination by death: when a player’s machine is destroyed, that player leaves the competition. Winning matches upgrades your character’s skills.

Offline freeplay

In single-player freeplay, you face the wastes alone and rely on your own strength and willpower to survive.
