Dead Matter, by indie company Quantum Integrity Software Inc., is a zombie survival rogue-lite set in a near future, post-apocalyptic Alberta. Bringing together various, handpicked elements of the open-world survival genre, along with our own original touches, Dead Matter aims to quench the community’s thirst for a title to properly balance survival mechanics with fulfilling gameplay.
It sounds like what SCUM should have been.
Quantum Integrity wrote:Almost any building in Dead Matter can be used as a safehouse so long as you maintain control of it. Place sheets or boards over the windows to block infected and player visibility.
Quantum Integrity wrote:Compete or cooperate with other survivors to recover rare gear or work towards uncovering the mystery surrounding the region.
Quantum Integrity wrote:Survive in a slowly decaying world. Over time, fences will start to have more openings and buildings will grow dark and cold when the municipal power grid fails.
Sounds worth checking out for sure. I don't think it's survival-building, but it looks like it's survival-crafting done right, unlike DayZ and SCUM.
Quantum Integrity wrote:Locate, hunt, kill, and skin the wildlife of Alberta for their fur and meat. Make sure no part of an animal goes to waste.
