Forget commanding armies. Here you manage three starving civilians in a bombed-out shelter, and every decision about who eats tonight will follow you long after you close the game.

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.
