A synopsis for The Dead Await reads:
The Dead Await is a deck-building open world survival RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. The world as we know it ended, torn apart by hordes of ravenous monsters. Humanity still clings on in the sea of blackened ruins, cold ashes, and man-eating creatures.
You're the leader of a caravan of survivalists whose goal is to figure out the truth behind the zombie apocalypse and, if possible, build the foundations for a new civilization! But be careful: Zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove the greatest obstacles during your long drive...
Key features include:
Deck-Building Mechanics: Collect and customize a deck of cards to enhance your survival tactics.
Open World Exploration: Traverse a sprawling landscape filled with danger, opportunity, and mystery.
Resource Management: Balance food, water, gear, and sanity to keep your caravan alive.
Character Development: Customize your survivor with attributes, skills, and perks for a tailored gameplay experience.
Strategic Combat: Engage in sophisticated card-based battles against zombies and rival humans.
The Dead Await can be wishlisted on Steam here.
