Survive in The Dark Forest, a zombie-infested woodland. Upgrade your weapons, gather resources, and withstand brutal, blood-soaked waves in first-person combat — alone or in co-op with up to 4 players.

Co-op zombie survival focused on physical base building, nighttime stealth, and gore with dismemberment. Explore to gather resources, raise defenses, and coordinate to protect your area while smart AI hordes look for ways to break through.
