Riga, Latvia - June 1st, 2022 - Coldwild Games, a game development company from Latvia, announces their next game, Stories from the Outbreak. Stories from the Outbreak is a turn-based zombie RPG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, where you manage a group of survivors fighting for their life. Stories from the Outbreak is a story generator first and foremost. Not all the people are going to survive, not every team is going to make it.

The year is 2020. The new disease has been sweeping through the world for some weeks. Zombies rise from the dead and attack humans. 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. Scavenge for supplies, fight the zombies, and decide the fate of your crew. What are you willing to sacrifice to survive the zombie plague?
Planned features
Form a team of survivors, hoping to escape this hell. Decide the fates of your team members: each member has unique tasks they are looking to achieve
Characters talk between themselves, showing polarization in views. Not every team is going to reach the ferry, but their stories matter. Will different views prevent them from reaching their goals?
Escape the dying world: traverse the area maps in search of shelter and supplies
Fight zombies when necessary: there are 20+ different enemy types in the game
The game is going to be available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. One of the game’s priorities is going to be the story generation: not every person survives a zombie apocalypse, but their stories would still matter. The gameplay consists of exploring the map through various checkpoints, fighting zombies for your survival, and searching for resources. The game explores the post-apocalyptic atmosphere through pixel art and the characters.
