Über Dead Wave
Dead Wave is a first-person zombie survival horror game where a mysterious radio signal is the only thing standing between you and the end of the world — or the thing that caused it.
Trapped inside a fortified survivor base during the early hours of the outbreak, you play as Jack, a sharp-tongued, exhausted everyman doing his best to stay alive, stay sane, and figure out 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, restore failing systems, and fight back against the undead while uncovering the truth behind Dead Wave — a signal that refuses to go silent.
🧟 SURVIVE THE DEAD
Zombies aren’t just obstacles — they’re a constant threat that reacts to sound, light, and your mistakes.
- Face relentless undead enemies in tight, atmospheric environments
- Choose when to fight, when to run, and when to hide
- Manage health, stamina, ammo, and scarce resources
- Every encounter is dangerous, especially when supplies run low
Survival isn’t guaranteed — it’s earned.
🔦 IMMERSIVE FIRST-PERSON HORROR
Experience horror through Jack’s eyes with full first-person immersion.
- Dynamic lighting and deep shadows
- Limited flashlight power and battery management
- Environmental storytelling through notes, props, and abandoned spaces
- Tense audio design that makes every sound matter
Darkness isn’t just scary — it’s lethal.
🧠 A STORY TOLD THROUGH PLAY
There are no cutscenes to hide behind.
Dead Wave tells its story entirely through gameplay.
- Fully voiced protagonist narration reacts to your actions
- Radio transmissions reveal clues, warnings, and unanswered questions
- Discover VHS tapes, recordings, and survivor notes
- Piece together what caused the outbreak — and why the signal still broadcasts
Jack’s dark humor masks fear, panic, and the growing realization that this apocalypse might not have been an accident.
🛠️ SCAVENGE, CRAFT, AND ADAPT
Survival means using whatever you can find — or build.
- Scavenge abandoned survivor bases and facilities
- Craft essential items to stay alive
- Repair systems, restore power, and reinforce defenses
- Turn found materials into tools, weapons, and upgrades
The world is broken. You’ll have to fix just enough of it to survive.
🔫 WEAPONS & TOOLS OF DESPERATION
From blunt melee weapons to limited firearms, every tool matters.
- Melee combat when ammo runs dry
- Firearms with realistic scarcity and tension-filled reloads
- Weapon handling designed to keep you vulnerable
- Improvised tools that reflect survival over power fantasy
This isn’t about being a hero — it’s about making it through the night.
📻 THE SIGNAL IS STILL BROADCASTING
A radio crackles to life.
A voice cuts through the static.
The dead start walking.
Whatever Dead Wave is…
It’s still transmitting.
And if you can hear it —
you’re already part of the story.
