Developed by Rubicon South, Survive the Apocalypse offers a survival experience similar to 99 Nights in the Forest, but the antagonists are zombies. Here’s everything that’s important to know about this game:

Map

By stepping into the teleporters and creating a party, you can start a match and get spawned onto the map. The first objective during each of your runs is to find fuel that’ll help you refuel and upgrade the generator. At each higher level of the generator, your explorable area will increase and chances of finding better loot will be enhanced.

Across the map, you’ll find weapons, better equipment, scrap and fuel, food items, bandages, and batteries that will help you craft different items and enhance your survivability.

Base

At the center of the map, you’ll get an open field that has a generator and Crafting Bench. By feeding fuel, you can start your generator and start surviving the apocalypse, while the Crafting Bench will help you craft different defensive and offensive items that can also be placed at your base.

During each night, your base will get attacked by a varying number of zombies that you can survive by eliminating them all. Moreover, a Travelling Merchant can visit your base occasionally to sell items in return for kills.
