Get ready to embark on an exciting journey through the Survival Machine demo, now live on Steam! In this early preview of the game, you’ll dive headfirst into the Frontier biome, where the core mechanics of Survival Machine come to life.This demo is packed with features to give you a taste of the full experience, but we still hold some secrets for you to discover after the release!



[h3]Explore and Survive in the Frontier Biome[/h3]
Navigate through a distinct part of the Frontier biome, a vast and treacherous open world filled with unique Points of Interest (PoIs). Discover hidden treasures, gather resources, and encounter two types of zombies, including the powerful Armored Zombies that bring an extra layer of challenge. Prepare yourself for two intense night-time zombie attacks, which escalate as you progress in our world!

[h3]Build and Customize Your Mobile Base[/h3]
Your vehicle isn’t just for transport—it’s your moving fortress! Use resources to craft and upgrade weapons, tools, and materials, and build defensive structures like the Short Range Mortar to fend off zombie hordes during their attacks. Customize your vehicle by constructing walls, stairs, roofs, and decorations to create a home on wheels.

[h3]Upgrade Your Character and Vehicle[/h3]
The demo offers a variety of upgrades, from character improvements like increased health and backpack capacity to vehicle upgrades like fuel-efficient pistons and enhanced lighting to be put on Machine’s deck.
Travel faster with the zipline upgrade and strengthen your vehicle’s defense with functional additions like extra storage space with barrels and crates. You can increase your health level, giving you a better chance of surviving a fight with zombies, and with a backpack upgrade, you'll be able to carry more loot on your journey!

[h3]Craft, Gather, and Fight for Survival[/h3]
Craft essential items like axes, clubs, and slingshots on the go, or build a Workbench to unlock stronger weapons like the Wooden Sword and Shield. Process resources at the Sawmill to gather planks and resin for advanced crafting, while exploring for essential materials like Plant Fibre, Copper Ore, and Screws—the latter dropped by tough Armored Zombies.

[h3]PoIs and Rewards Await[/h3]
In this demo, you'll find 8 Points of Interest, ranging from large locations like the Factory and Tree Town to smaller, dynamic areas like the Oil Rig and Farm. Each location offers a different challenge, and the randomized world ensures no two playthroughs are alike.

[h3]What to Expect in the Demo[/h3]

• 6 Playable Characters: Choose from three female and three male characters,
  
• Interactive Quests: Complete onboarding quests that not only introduce you to survival basics, like gathering resources and crafting essential items, but also guide you through the gameplay, helping you navigate challenges such as fending off zombies as you progress.
  
• Vast areas to explore: Visit all the Points of Interest (PoIs) and collect the loot waiting for you there.
• Discover secrets, and get ready to be surprised by the constant exploration of the Survival Machine world.
  
• Zombie night attack: Probably the most intense part of our game! You’ll experience thrilling, action-packed moments that will test your skills and strategy, pushing you to the limits of your survival abilities.
