Tainted by the Stars: The Dead Among Us
A 3D top-down zombie shooter focused on tactics, resource scarcity, and realistic combat. Instead of mindless spraying, every fight demands decisions, when to fight, when to run, and when to loot.
Your vision is your greatest weapon: the innovative Field-of-View system only shows what your survivor can actually see, adding tension, realism, and tactical depth to every encounter.
As you fight to stay alive, you’re not just surviving. You’ve been tasked by a group of researchers to uncover the true cause of the zombie outbreak. Every mission brings you closer to the origin of the infection… and the truth behind it.
Survive wave after wave of undead using a mix of firearms, melee weapons, grenades, and healing items. All under the constant pressure of limited ammo and time.
