Games Like Deadlight: A Zombie Chronicle

The house is all you have

Deadlight is a survival management game about a small group of strangers holed up in a suburban house after the dead took the city. Each day has a morning, an afternoon and a night. You decide who cooks, who stands watch, who nails boards over the windows and who walks out the front door to look for supplies. Then the sun goes down and you find out if it was enough.

People, not units

Every survivor has a job from their old life, a few quirks and an opinion about everyone else in the house. They get hungry, thirsty, tired, sick and scared. Push someone too hard and they may break. Put two people who can't stand each other on the same shift and you will hear about it. Open the door to a stranger and you might gain a doctor. Or a problem.

What you'll be doing

Six ways out

Fix the old car and drive out, flag down a helicopter, reach a bunker, join a convoy, turn the house into a fortress, or answer a radio broadcast. Most routes don't have room for everyone. Choosing who goes is part of the game.

Every run is a story

A run lasts about three weeks of in-game time, or twice that on a long run. When it ends, the Ledger remembers it: who made it, who didn't, and how they died. Earn perks that carry into your next attempt.
