Dead Wave description
Dead Wave is a tense, first-person zombie survival horror where a mysterious radio signal may be the last lifeline or the cause of the apocalypse. Trapped inside a fortified survivor base during the early hours of the outbreak, you play as Jack — sharp-tongued, exhausted, and determined to stay alive, sane, and unearth why the dead started walking the moment a strange UHF transmission hit the airwaves.
Armed with scavenged weapons, improvised tools, and a dangerously sarcastic inner monologue, you’ll explore abandoned facilities, repair failing systems, and push back against the undead while chasing the truth behind Dead Wave’s relentless broadcast.
Survival and threat management — Zombies aren’t mere obstacles; they react to sound, light, and your mistakes. Each encounter is dangerous, especially when supplies are low. You’ll choose when to fight, when to run, and when to hide, managing health, stamina, ammo, and scarce resources as you navigate the environment’s dangers and moral compromises.
Immersive first-person horror — Experience horror through Jack’s eyes with full immersion. Dynamic lighting and deep shadows, limited flashlight power, and battery management pour tension into every corridor. Environmental storytelling unfolds through notes, props, and abandoned spaces, while a tense audio design makes every creak and whisper feel lethal.
A story told through play — There are no cutscenes to hide behind. Dead Wave reveals its narrative entirely through gameplay. The fully voiced protagonist narration responds to your actions, and radio transmissions reveal clues, warnings, and unanswered questions. Discover VHS tapes, recordings, and survivor notes to piece together what caused the outbreak and why the signal keeps broadcasting. Jack’s dark humor shields fear as the reality of this apocalypse unfolds.
Scavenge, craft, and adapt — Survival means using whatever you find. Explore survivor bases and facilities, craft essential items, repair systems, restore power, and reinforce defenses. Convert found materials into tools, weapons, and upgrades. The world is broken, and you’ll have to fix enough of it to endure the night.
Weapons and tools of desperation — From blunt melee weapons to limited firearms, every tool matters. Expect melee combat when ammo runs dry, realistic scarcity and tense reloads, and weapon handling designed to keep you vulnerable. Improvised tools reflect hard-won survival over any heroic fantasy.
The broadcast endures — A radio crackles to life as a voice cuts through the static. The dead keep walking. Whatever Dead Wave is, it’s still transmitting — and if you can hear it, you’re already part of the story.
