THE GAME

WHAT IS DEAD UPON US?

Dead Upon Us is the next generation first-person Zombie Survival RPG/Simulator with Multiplayer features and a story-driven world.

In Dead Upon Us players take on the role of a survivor who has struggled through the apocalypse for 12 years now. Having adapted to this new reality, people have learned to fight the undead and even create large communities.
The living dead are not the only threat, many savage bandit groups flood the streets in Dead Upon Us. Though small in number, facing them along your journey can be a struggle for any lone survivor. Forming a group by rescuing or helping other people and recruiting them increases your odds at survival. This helps turns the tides against unwanted guests, both living and dead.
Once players establish a colony certain features become available to allow governing and management of a community. Creating laws, establishing defenses, helping and keeping colonists happy are all parts of being a leader.
Once a colony has become sizeable, large factions both friendly and not will begin taking notice to that community. Trading, Alliances and even Wars are a natural part of the new world order.

FACE ONSLAUGHTS OF ZOMBIES

In a world taken over by the living dead, players will constantly find themselves face to face with fatal threats. Weapons can be found all over the world, but guns & ammo are scarce. Early on Players will rely mostly on melee combat to take down threats. While ineffective against hordes of the dead, melee combat allows a stealthy approach to taking down foes. Firearms have the opposite effect, when shooting a gun the sound will alert any zombie around the shooter. Hordes can quickly form when over firing a gun, so the use a firearm should be held until it’s vital for survival. The game will also feature a numerous different zombie types, increasing the lethality of the world of Dead Upon Us.

WORLD STORY & QUESTLINE. SIDEQUESTS. RANDOM ENCOUNTERS. OPENWORLD

Dead Upon Us has a huge written story and will feature a large dynamic questline with choices that actually affects the outcome.
War wages in the center of Philadelphia, the remanence of a corporation half responsible for the outbreak have taken control of most of the city for nearly the entire apocalypse. This cult like group, the Paradise Initiative rules with an iron fist and looks at other groups as merely a resource. If anyone dares speak or raise a hand against them, the erase them from existence. They rule over hidden away in a skyscraper surrounded by walls, completely preserved and have an arsenal of advanced technologies like aircraft & weapons.
Not everyone has fallen prey to the power of the corporation. Many communities united to form a resistance against the Initiative. This United people is lead by a council with members who were once in government, military and they believe in bringing back the old ways and maintain that the president still lives. This group has mostly ground military vehicles and have strong defenses which has allowed them to survive this long.
Though things have gone well for them this long, the war may be about to take a huge turn. The United People may need a strong ally in the coming days, or perhaps the Initiative will turn to lean on a new shoulder?

The World has a story and it’s all around. While some events are set to be unmissed by the player, the world is playing even if the player is distracted. World events may occur if certain dates pass, thus giving a huge amount of replayability. Some of these events players may learn of afterwards through character dialogue & quests. In a new gameplay these events can be altered thus effect the whole world.
