About Journey Through the Undead
Journey Through the Undead is a 2026 indie adventure game developed by Dazzling Divine. It tasks you with surviving a zombie-infested world where mutated landscapes and hordes of enemies force constant combat. The PC-only title blends fast-paced gunplay with resource management, set across eerie ruins and toxic swamps. You’ll switch between pistols, shotguns, and melee tools while scavenging for ammo and crafting upgrades. The game’s single-player focus and relentless action make it a pick-up-and-play title for fans of twitchy survival loops.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around clearing zombie waves in linear levels, each ending with a boss fight. You toggle between shooting, hacking, and throwing grenades, all while managing limited health and ammo. The world feels reactive, zombies spawn dynamically, and environmental hazards like collapsing floors add urgency. Controls are tight, with a six-axis movement system that allows sprinting and sliding. Missions often force tough choices, like defending a position or fleeing with a key item. The difficulty spikes unpredictably, especially in swamp regions where toxic pools reduce healing efficiency.
What Players Think
Community stats show a 78% critic score and 65% user rating. Most players finish the game in 15-20 hours, with 32% completing all side quests. 41% of users report frustration over ammo scarcity, while 28% praise the boss designs.

One user wrote, "The first hour is addictive, but the last mission feels unfair."
PlayPile's Take
This game works best as a short, intense session rather than a long-term commitment. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier indie title with decent value for its 18-hour average playtime. 23% of players earn all 120 achievements, but the final stretch requires precise skill. Recommended for those who enjoy survival mechanics and don’t mind grinding for resources. Skip if you prefer relaxed exploration, this is a run-and-gun grindfest.
