Cheapest The Dead Await keys — keyshops
Keyshops are third-party marketplaces — keys are resold and can be region-locked or a different edition. Check the listing's region & edition before buying.
Some stores inflate their “regular” price to show a bigger discount. We flag those (⚠ inflated) and show the real saving against the actual list price.
Some store links are affiliate links — playze may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay, and the cheapest option is always shown in the Best price box above.

About The Dead Await
The Dead Await is a deck-building open world survival RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. The world as we know it ended, torn apart by hordes of ravenous monsters. Humanity still clings on in the sea of blackened ruins, cold ashes, and man-eating creatures.
You're the leader of a caravan of survivalists whose goal is to figure out the truth behind the zombie apocalypse and, if possible, build the foundations for a new civilization! But be careful: Zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove the greatest obstacles during your long drive...
- Explore a vast world torn apart by a zombie apocalypse, from derelict cities full of loot and zombies to new settlements founded by survivors with opportunity and backstabbing abound.
- Gather food, water, fuel, and gear to survive the drive. Manage your resources to ensure everyone gets to the destination safely.
- Manage your team's sanity! Manage the impact of trauma, long-term effects of injuries, and, of course, resource scarcity. Zombies might turn out to be the least of your problems...
- Build the survivor you want using a robust attribute, skill, and perk system. Experiment with combinations and character builds, from a suave lockpicker to a mindless berserker and everything in-between.
- Paired with the character system is sophisticated card-based combat. Build up your deck during your travels, taking a team of rag-tag survivors to veterans with incredibly rare cards at their disposal!
- Gear matters: Give your survivors an edge with weapon and equipment mods - plus a good meal - and watch them conquer the wasteland!
- Build your group of survivalists to work as a team in combat!
- The caravan is at the heart of your journey to discover the truth. Upgrade it with workbenches, storage, and other features to turn it into a true mobile base.
- Swap out vehicle components to modify the caravan's performance. Engine, suspension, tires, all affect how you traverse the world - and your chances of surviving!
- Craft everything you need to survive, including the classic nail-mounted baseball bat. They don't make them like they used to, after all!
- With what you find in the wild, cook meals to give yourself permanent bonuses or a quick fix before a fight!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The mixed reviews make sense. It is a niche game. If you are not sure, pass or wait for a sale. If you like mixed genre zombie, card battle, survival hardcore games, can't recommend enough. Just check out the bad reviews. If you are like me and don't care that it's not perfectly polished, doesn't have the exact mechanics of games you played before, give it try.7 found this helpful
I want to like this one, but it is just unappealing, slow, and bloated. Funny thing, there is a faster movement button, its speed should be the norm, and then make it faster. There are too many looting types, so you constantly run back and forth to put them into storage or sell. The story is just survival and sandbox. Maybe later something happens, but it crashed on me and ate like 30 minutes of playtime, so I'm not too keen to find out.2 found this helpful
Score: 2/5 [b]The Good[/b] Audio/sfx/music [b]The Bad[/b] Art style/direction and animations. Awful writing. Combat. Tutorial. Movement/map navigation.
https://youtu.be/WZfIQMrQP-M Far too many games were built into this game mudding the water and making it unclear what focus players should target.
Meh
THE ART IS TRASH GAMEPLAY boring loop of looting bad the only survival horror here is trying to survive the boredom when you play
