The Dead Await

About

The Dead Await is a deck-building RPG where you lead a group of survivors through a zombie-infested world. Your caravan must scavenge for supplies, upgrade your deck, and make tough choices between fighting off the undead or pressing forward toward safer ground. Every decision impacts your progress as you balance resource management with tactical combat. The game emphasizes strategy over speed, forcing you to adapt your deck to unpredictable threats and environmental hazards. What sets The Dead Await apart is its focus on both external and internal dangers. While hordes of zombies provide constant pressure, rival human groups pose just as much of a threat, adding a layer of distrust to every encounter. The narrative centers on uncovering the outbreak's origins while trying to establish a new society, creating a tense mix of mystery and survival. Scheduled for release on October 24, 2024, the game offers a deep strategy experience for players who enjoy planning ahead and weighing every risk.
