About 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.
