Dead Matter is a true sandbox zombie survival horror game where you will fight to survive in zombie packed post apocalyptic Alberta. Facing threats from hordes of flesh crazed undead, non player characters and other players that are simply doing what it takes to survive.

Your objective is to survive and Dead Matter’s objective is to give you a variety of different means for you to survive. Food, water, shelter, safety, and transportation are all necessities. How you acquire them is up to you with Dead Matter aiming to accommodate a wide variety of “What if” scenarios being thrown at it. Experience the worst of humanity by connecting to a server filled with other players, or try and survive on your own, without anyone to hold you back via singleplayer.

Just remember, who will you be when there is nothing left?

Dead Matter aims to create a unique feeling for every different playthrough via simulating as many elements of our world as possible.

Every fresh save of Dead Matter will start on Day 1 with time ticking forward from there.

Our Pitbull AI system which currently simulates 25,000 undead across the entire play space, is responsible for hordes that can naturally form and break apart.

As more of the systems that contribute to the concept of the metagame are developed, and more factors are introduced, the more unique each play session will feel.

While Pitbull is simply not appropriate for high-fidelity characters such as humans, it does provide the acceleration structures and foundation that are required for such a complex system to finally come to light.

Dead Matter has a multithreaded persistence system that enables any object that you can interact with to have it’s state saved and loaded.

Impacts that you make on the world such as the trees you cut down, the lights you shoot out, or the windows you break open will bring permanent changes to your world. We take this a step further by only spawning loot once in hardcore mode, meaning that you’ll be fighting for scraps if a server has been up for a long time.

We’ve built our save system to eventually accommodate for character saves across all official servers hosted by QI Games.

Claiming a part of the world for yourself is a rite of passage. You can build rain collector barrels, various pieces of furniture that you can interact with or store your items inside of or planters to grow food.
