In the full game, there will be MUCH more content and no limit on days, and you’ll be able to survive as long as you can, exploring new, mysterious locations.[/p][p][/p][p]NOTE: The game is in active development and constantly evolving.

New survival game is like a low-poly, co-op version of Fallout and Stalker

Video games can be a parade of wasted worlds and long dead civilizations. Fallout and Stalker represent the best of the post-apocalypse, dead settings which come alive and feel wonderful and mysterious. The aptly-titled Misery pulls deftly from that lineage, making a world that feels haunted, dank, and lived-in. It's a co-op game with real style and a haunted atmosphere. If you're lucky, you can play it right now.

Development Update #1

Hello survivors!
[p][/p][p]As you’ve noticed, the release date has been changed, and you might be wondering why. [/p][p][/p][p]Fair question! The game initially started as a solo project with a limited scope and resources. But now, thanks to your support and enthusiasm (100k wishlists in one month!), we've realized its true potential. Because of that, we’ve decided to postpone the release to deliver the best experience possible: with more content, diverse locations, new mechanics, monsters, and items. Polishing and optimization are also very important to us. We want to ensure the game runs smoothly on all setups. [/p][p][/p][p]While this is still a solo-developed project, we now have the resources to fully focus on development. [/p][p]The new release date will be announced very soon, we're aiming for late October, and we’re sure this will be the final date.[/p][p][/p][p]Rest assured, development won’t stop after release. The game will continue to evolve with regular updates, new features and content. [/p][p][/p][p]You can also expect more frequent updates, communication, and playtests from now on. We want your feedback and ideas! Please share them here on the Community Hub or join us on Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]And don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, we’ll be posting new trailers, shorts, and other updates there.[/p][p]We’ll be sharing more news about upcoming playtests soon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here![/p][p][/p][p]Platypus Entertainment x Ytopia[/p]
