Zombie Within is Wandering Wizard and New Gen Studios latest collaboration, which is now officially released in early access! We are so excited to share this Zombie Apocalypse themed Social Deduction Game with you.

Zombie Within is set in a post-apocalyptic camp where Defenders are tasked with saving humanity by stopping the spread of a zombie virus killing innocent people. But among the defenders, undercover Zombie Imposters are determined to spread a devastating virus, aiming to eradicate humanity. Play with up to 6 friends or play single player and test your mettle against the game itself!

[h2]Play as a Zombie[/h2]


[h2]KEY FEATURES:[/h2]

• Asymmetrical Social Deduction: Play as either a Zombie Imposter, blending in to kill as many civilians as possible in the camp, or a Defender, attempting to figure out who amongst the civilians is secretly a zombie.
  
• Cause Mayhem as the Zombie Imposter:As a Zombie Imposter, pretend you are one of the many civilians of the camp and break as many generators as possible to spread the infection. Once enough infection has spread, an Imposter can transform into a monstrous zombie form, which allows them to attack civilians directly.
  
• Protect the camp as a Defender: Defenders can take on the roles of Hunters or Engineers. Hunters take down zombie imposters easily and can lay down traps to expose them. Meanwhile, Engineers have tools that allow them to quickly find broken generators, and reveal the imposter amongst the civilians.
  
• Randomly Generated Maps: Play on either the default map, or test your skills in a randomly generated camp map, with different layouts and generator spawns.
