No More Room in Hell 2 will be available on Steam Early Access and EGS, October 31 2022!

Our plan is to launch the game next Halloween in Early Access as a Beta. That means it will launch with some limited content but what we do launch with we plan to have decently polished and a good quality experience. We plan on being in Beta/Early Access for one year and with your support from buying the game we will be able to afford to hire more staff to work on the game full-time (we only have 2 full-time staff at the moment!) and it will enable us to continue to develop the game, flesh out the mechanics more, add new features and extra content like tons of new weapons, maps, and new game modes!

We are a small team and we have a lot to do still but we know that you are a dedicated, supporting and understanding community and we hope that you will be with us on this journey to delivering the best possible co-op zombie game.


As always you can join us on our Discord Channel and hit me up if you have any questions or whatever.
Thank you so much for sticking with us all this time and we hope you'll play with us next Halloween!

An update to No More Room in Hell has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart No More Room in Hell. The major changes include:

Anxiety [Objective] (by Porkchops4lunch)



The rails can take us no further. There seems to be a train crash up ahead, but at least we managed to escape the dead labs.
With that being said, the news isn't all bad. The map shows another train tunnel that leads straight to St. Sebastian hospital - army mentioned this location over the radio several times - something about evacuation plans.
There must be some maintenance tunnels connecting the different subway routes. Just hope there's someone left up there to help us...

Rockpit [Objective] (by Sirdoggy)



All hell broke loose in the facility. Many of us thought that seeking shelter in the tunnels was a good idea... After some time, we're already low on supplies and boxed in by the undead.
We have to get to the surface. Yesterday we could hear constant gunfire and explosions from the surface, but it suddenly went quiet.
Maybe the situation up there is under control...

Drugstore [Survival] (by Acrilyk)



While looting the Everett Pharmacy Drugstore in Macon, some survivors found a working military radio. It would seem that the army tried to establish a safezone inside the drugstore, but got overrun.
Abandoned by the National Guard, the survivors decide to hole up in the drugstore and make a final stand with the supplies the military left behind.
Upon using the radio, they are told help is on the way, but they have countless undead to slaughter in the meantime...
