Crown of Pain News

Attention all survivors! The Early Access release of Stories from the Outbreak is finally here!



Embark on a turn-based roguelike zombie RPG with a shorter scenario that immerses players in the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. With 11 unique characters, more than 15 enemies, and three expansive maps, the gameplay is challenging, and permadeath adds to the intensity.

Form a team of survivors, traverse the area maps in search of shelter and supplies, fight zombies, and decide the fate of your crew. The game explores the apocalyptic atmosphere through pixel art and characters that speak to each other, showing polarization in views. Will different opinions prevent them from reaching their goals?

The game is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Join the fight for survival and make your own story in a world overrun by the undead!

Future plans

Similar with making combat much more consistent in the previous update, we plan to look into adjusting the balance and the scaling of enemy strength and character abilities.
This means that the primary focus will be around adding variation and different micro mechanics in the game rather than adding additional characters, lore etc (this will come later)

HALLOWEEN CAVE

For limited time special halloween cave level has been added to the game with end-game boss "Pumpking".


Thank you so much for your time and let us know if any issues come up!
