Control the Horde. Hunt the last humans. Track their scavengers across the remains of the old world. Grow your numbers. Swarm their outposts. Tear down their fragile camps and erase the final traces of civilisation - one survivor at a time.
The Dead
SteamControl The Horde
The world is already dead. Cities crumble. Roads crack beneath endless footsteps. Humanity survives only in scattered pockets - scavenging ruins, rebuilding hope, clinging on.
And you are here to end that.

In THE DEAD, you are one of the undead and ALL of the undead- a single body in a vast, rotting sea that is yours to command.
Every zombie is yours to become and control. When one body falls, you simply awaken in the next. The Horde never stops. The hunger never ends.
Hunt the last humans. Track their scavengers across the remains of the old world. Grow your numbers. Swarm their outposts. Tear down their fragile camps and erase the final traces of civilisation - one survivor at a time.

The few humans that remain are tough, desperate, organised. They will fight back. They will build, fortify, and adapt. But the dead do not tire. The dead do not fear. And as long as a single corpse remains standing…
…you will return.
There is no saving the world.
There is only finishing it.
