Looks interesting. Turn based zombie survival.

www.deadstate.doublebearproductions.com

"Dead State is a compelling, high-tension RPG set at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse - a deadly illness is rampaging through the world, turning those infected into the walking dead. As society is beginning to fall apart, the player must organize a scant handful of allies, working on fortifying a shelter, scouting for food and supplies, making uncertain alliances with others, and attempting to hold together a group as humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. And although the zombies lurk as an ever present threat, the biggest obstacle to the player may just be other humans with the same goal: survival at any cost."

Early access demo Dead State: The First Seven Days available on steam tonight.
 
I will give this a go tonight. Enjoyed State of Decay and X-Com. This looks like the lovechild of those games.

Will probably wait for a steam sale to buy.
 
Just looked on the OS.

Unless something has changed the demo is:

"exclusively available to Kickstarter backers and pre-order customers!"

Yes it is, been following it for a while now but never much news, one thing that was making forum users happy was its for backers and kickstarters. That annoyed me as id like to try before I buy.
 
Was really excited when I heard about it all the years back, haven't really followed the development since though. Looks like it's available on Steam as early access game and good reviews on there, anyone here played it?
 
This has now come out of EA and is ready to play. Some people are moaning about character customization, although it works and you can do it all but a simple image is missing so they say. Which is actually coming in the next bug update. But it is meant to be finished as in it has all the endings and all the mechanics are meant to be in and working so it can be completed.

EDIT: Actually it is meant to have the hardcore mode missing.

Fixed game freeze that occurred when attempting to upgrade cars.
Fixed Getz amount of time unavailable

We plan to deliver another patch hopefully next week. The devs have been hard at work with little to no sleep for a month or longer, and we could use a day or two to recover before we dive back in to working on Dead State, so please bear with us :) We have heard your biggest pain points and I promise they're on the list to get fixed as soon as we can! Thanks for your patience and understanding.
 
I think I will wait for this game to get more fixes before buying, Im still impressed that they have released this though especially living in the Ukraine it must but a little stressful these days!
 
Put about 50 hours into this. Good game as it stands now they've patched there game breaking bugs. Has the potential to be awesome but needs a lot of work.

At the moment it's way too easy. I have enough food/petrol to open a supermarket.

The writing is great. Really brings the characters in your group to life to the point where you actually give a toss. One guy was ******* me off so I took him out into the field and let the zombies deal with him :)
