Notable differences from most Roguelikes

  • Survivors are fragile and die easily, including the player, even at high level.
  • As the gameplay focus on staying alive and attending to your basic needs, killing enemies is secondary rather than the priority.
  • You can recruit a party of fellow survivors to help you and you can order them around, but will have to take care of them.
  • The game world is dynamic and always evolving. The game can simulate what happened in places your character was not present.
