A Letter from Vanimals. It's time to save Cody!

And…..We’re LIVE!

Greetings everyone from all of us at Vinamals and Skystone!

As you may have noticed, we’re now live in Early Access and it’s been quite the journey getting here.

Many of you might have seen us at E3 in 2019 being revealed by Greg Miller/Kinda funny games.

From then on we’ve been hard at work getting the game up to par as folks have some pretty lofty expectations, including ourselves!

We’ve had a few festivals here on steam (which have been AMAZING) and of course a few alpha test windows which has helped us immensely, especially with the incredibly valuable feedback you’ve all provided.

This is why we are going into Early Access. We need your help in getting the game to the next level and ensuring Cody and Anling's story is a must-have experience.

We’re looking forward to everyone's continued support, feedback, and also in helping spread the word about our game! (This is greatly appreciated!!!)

That said, please join us all through the week as we have live streams (one coming on release day), ama’s, and all sorts of fun in discord.

Oh, and a contest or two as we know folks would love to be a zombie...Stay Tuned!

An Update on Translations from Vanimals and Skystone!

Due to Early Access, we haven’t had time to get all translations in and are using AI/Machine learning for this. Please also keep in mind that the text and wording are constantly changing throughout EA. This means that the translations will be far from perfect and will constantly require updating.

We know that isn’t ideal, but with your support, we can get things better! Join us in discord to ask how you can help!

Translations will be added in a Day 2 or Day 3 patch for the following languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Korean. The translations will not affect every part of the game at this stage but we'll be adding more as fast as possible.

Undying Enters Early Access October 19th!

Undying will be going live in Early Access on the 19th of October (super soon!).

Join us in creating the best version of Undying possible by joining the development team as we go through Early Access.

PCGamer Preview!

Make sure to stay tuned folks as we'll be rolling out all of our spooky Early Access roadmaps, previews, store page overhauls, and more!

We can't wait to show everyone what we have in store!

Undying is a zombie survival game where you've already been bitten




Undying (not to be confused with Clive Barker's Undying) is a zombie survival sim with a twist: There's no hope of survival. As the game begins, a young woman named Anling has already been bitten, and the undead infection is slowly overtaking her. Her task is not to survive—she's not going to, that's a foregone conclusion—but to spend the remaining few days she has left preparing her young son for her passing...

Undying Alpha Demo Update!

Greetings from Vanimals!

So as many already know, we’ve pushed back the release window to the fall (hopefully no further changes!) and have been hard at work on getting the game to where it needs to be.

With that in mind, we’ve had our current demo version out in the wild for players to experience since the spring Steam Festival...so it’s long overdue for an update!

Wait…. AN UPDATE?!



You bet and no it’s not just more Zombies for us all to hide Cody from!

One of our biggest sources of feedback has been from you all checking out the demo, reaching out to us be it here or on Discord (seriously join us there) to let us know your thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the game.

We greatly appreciate that and ask that you keep doing so!

So here is just a quick rundown of what to expect and of course, please let us know what you think!

We took the 'work' out of 'Guesswork' with our brand new UI and UX
  • The new UI conveys more information to the player while looking sleek and stylish
  • Tutorials, quests, tips and hints make the experience directed while giving the player the freedom to do whatever!
  • Introducing the Minimap V0.1!
  • Oh, the world map has been touched up as well
  • Managing your storage is not a chore anymore. Unlike real-life
  • Track what ingredients you need wherever you go
  • Dropped loot is now easier to see. Now if only zombies dropped crowbars




Balance, balance, and balance.
  • No need to use twenty crowbars to defeat one zombie!
  • Surviving is now a challenge and not an impossibility
  • Made securing resource supply chain manageable
Sam Fisher joins the fray!
  • No, not really. But that'd be cool right? However, Anling can now sneak around to avoid combat




Home Alone meets Undying
  • Channel the power of Kevin McCallister to craft new defensive fixtures
Pew, Pew, Pew
  • It's easier to get Cody a slingshot now making him effective in fights from earlier in the game
Intro storyboard? Not anymore!
  • We've turned that black and white storyboard into a cinematic, with colour!
  • It's still a WIP




Thanks again and stay tuned for the next update about the game coming very very soon!

Make sure to wishlist Undying!
