Afterheat
SteamA brutal solo survival game set in a scorched, post-apocalyptic Earth consumed by climate collapse.
The world as we knew it is gone. Oceans have evaporated. Forests turned to ash. Humanity has fallen.
What remains is a lifeless desert wasteland—relentless, empty, and silent. You are alone. No one is coming.
To survive, you must adapt to the heat, fight exhaustion, scavenge what’s left, and stay one step ahead of the planet itself.
Explore a haunting, sun-blasted open world where every landmark tells a story of collapse. From buried cities and rusted ruins to shifting dunes and lost temples—this world is both your enemy and your only companion.
Survival is not a meter to fill—it's a complex system:
The ecosystem has adapted in dangerous ways. Some creatures hunt. Others flee. You’ll have to learn the hard way which is which.
Scavenge for materials and forgotten tech. Craft survival gear and prepare for brutal heatwaves and sandstorms. The right tools can mean the difference between life and death.
Afterheat features a fully dynamic temperature and weather simulation:
Discover the remnants of a broken world. Uncover forgotten messages, ruins, and signs of what led to humanity’s downfall. This isn’t just survival—it’s about understanding the past and finding a reason to keep going.
Afterheat is being developed by a solo developer who’s focused on building a raw, atmospheric survival experience—without microtransactions, pay-to-win, or filler content. What you see now is early. The game is still growing.
