Release Delay Announcement

Hi everyone,

We know a lot of excitement has been stirring since the release date announcement. Unfortunately, due to some complications during the final round of testing before launch we will be postponing the release of the game for now.

While this decision is a difficult one, it is not one we make lightly. We are determined to give you the best game possible on launch day so we will be taking some additional time to clean up the issues we discovered.

As always, we are forever grateful for your continued support.

[h3]🌏 Traverse the Open World[/h3]
Explore a vast world torn apart by a zombie apocalypse, from derelict cities full of loot and zombies to new settlements founded by survivors with opportunity and backstabbing abound. Gather food, water, fuel, and gear to survive the drive while managing your resources to ensure everyone gets to the destination safely.

[h3]🃏 Stack the Perfect Cards for Combat[/h3]
Build the survivor you want using a robust attribute, skill, and perk system. Experiment with combinations and character builds, from a suave lockpicker to a mindless berserker and everything in-between. Build up your deck during your travels, taking a team of rag-tag survivors to veterans with incredibly rare cards at their disposal!

[h3]🚗 Upgrade Your Death Drive[/h3]
The caravan is at the heart of your journey to discover the truth. Upgrade it with workbenches, storage, and other features to turn it into a true mobile base. Swap out vehicle components to modify the caravan's performance. Engine, suspension, tires, all affect how you traverse the world - and your chances of surviving!
