Description
The year is 2020. The new disease have been sweeping through the world for some weeks. Zombies rise from the dead and attack others. You wake up in your apartment in the city of Riga and turn the radio on. The order has completely collapsed and the streets are not safe. The police and the army will not protect you. There is one last ferry heading out to Iceland from the western shore. You can only rely on yourself now. Stories from the Outbreak is a turn-based zombie RPG. Lead a group of survivors from the doomed city of Riga towards the ferry sailing across the North Sea. Scavenge for supplies, fight the zombies, decide the fate of your crew. What are you willing to sacrifice to survive the zombie plague? Stories from the outbreak is a story generator first and foremost. Not all of the people are going to survive.

About Coldwild Games
Boilerplate
Coldwild Games is a small games studio of three people from Latvia, Europe. We started by making the game with unreasonably big scope, then we made some games with unreasonably small scope. Then we made Lazy Galaxy, and it turned out pretty cool. We understand that in indie game world, there's no point in making "game X, but better," so we try to come up with cool new ideas and genre blends. Both developing and playing games is a way for us to connect with the world, to exchange our thoughts and feelings with each other.
Mission and vision.
Experimentation with game genres: always add something new to the mix, even if it is a small detail.
No lootbox / casino mechanics masked as games.
Treat games as art aesthetically, but put good gameplay first.
