About the Game
Dead State is a compelling, high-tension survival RPG set at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.

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. A full-fledged RPG featuring shelter building and management, turn-based tactical combat, and reactive story and dialogue with an emphasis on survival at any cost.

Attract new allies, scavenge food and supplies, and protect your shelter at any cost. Do you have what it takes to lead a desperate group through a crisis? This is your chance to find out.

Patch #4 Changelog


Added a new intro sequence
What exactly happened to you before you woke up in the Shelter? Time to find out!

Changed night-time behavior:
You no longer lose the game for staying out past midnight. Instead, nighttime combat penalties are applied after 8 p.m.; staying out past midnight causes the fatigue status; and staying out past 3 a.m. now incurs a -50 morale hit, 50% health loss to all members of the party, and kicks you back to the Shelter. If you’re using horses, they become exhausted and unusable for a couple of days, and if you’re using the car, it breaks and you need to repair it again. (In other words, get your butt back to the Shelter before 3 a.m.!)

Added a Recycler Upgrade:
By popular request, you can now build the Recycler Upgrade to break weapons and armor down into parts. This will most likely need balancing work, so make sure to share your feedback with us on the boards and forums.

Adjusted Healing:
Based on feedback from the community, the Infirmary is no longer the only way to recover lost maximum HP. Lost max HP now slowly heals naturally with rest in the Shelter at the rate of 1 per hour. Treatment in the Infirmary still offers a much quicker way to get back on your feet, but it is no longer the only way.

Performed major combat balance pass:
Including armor, weapons, shields, enemies, and enemy chance to crit.

Updated level visuals:
We improved visuals in over 70 levels.

Updated level loot, combat, and events:
A number of levels received combat and loot passes, and we even added some more random events.

Implemented and fixed perk effects:
New perk effects for Animal Magnetism, Pharmacist, and Gardener were added, and some existing bugged perks were fixed.


Updated and added icons, portraits, and models

Added new rare melee weapons and minibosses on multiple maps

Added more Lore items to various enemies:
Note: there’s a known bug with the Lore system right now that will be resolved in the next patch.

Added ability to obtain cats for the Shelter

Added new Crisis Events

Added ally deaths from antibiotic shortages:
Known issue: camera data isn’t in yet, so consider these WIP for now.

Added mood bonuses and penalties

Changed fence job behavior and text:
We changed the title and description text on the stone-reinforced fence job to more correctly reflect the nature of the upgrade.

Fixed, added, and updated dialogues

Added Credits button to options menu

Added wounded status icon

Added better handling of location detection on area map

Added additional infirmary polish:
Characters teleport to the infirmary when they’re injured and even lie down in the beds.

Adjusted prone AP penalty

Added requirement of rotten fruit to antibiotics manufacturing

Added buff status effects “Aimed” and “Pumped”

Added new faction combat barks

Added new ‘select all’ buttons in the shelter

Adjusted travel speed of horses

There are lots of other smaller tweaks, additions, and improvements that you’ll stumble across as you go, but that should cover most of it :) Watch out for our next patch, which should be equally impressive and satisfy even more popular community requests.
