The Withering

The Withering is a post-apocalyptic survival horror simulator set in a modern world devastated by a viral infection that wiped out 90% of the population and triggered a series of catastrophes. You manage a camp of survivors and can take control of its heroes to explore the surrounding world, scavenge supplies and bring them back to the camp.

Manage the camp

Assign tasks to survivors, construct building upgrades and manage production, trade and diplomacy. You can also equip survivors with gear for their scavenging runs. Decisions made during radio tower mission events help make each playthrough different.

Explore the world

Take control of a hero survivor at any time and leave the camp to search the dying world for resources, materials and equipment. This third-person action simulation lets you bring what you find back for production, upgrades or trade. Random world events, loot drops and different enemy types vary each playthrough.

Develop your characters

Develop character stats to improve melee and firearms skills, as well as physical performance. Different gear types provide different bonuses.
