About the game

ABOUT

A multiplayer survival game set in a county that stopped answering. Nobody is coming. Everything you need is still out there.

Northgrave County was an ordinary place. Quiet suburbs, a main street, farms along the river, a water tower with the county name on it. Then the roads filled up and the radios went quiet.

You arrive after the collapse with a backpack and not much else. The houses are still full of what people left behind. The streets are not empty.

Northgrave County plays from a 3D isometric camera. Every house can be entered and every corner can hide a threat. You decide how much risk a can of beans is worth, and whether to bring someone along.

Worlds are persistent and hosted on dedicated servers. What you build, store and lose is still there when you log back in. The game is free; the files to host your own dedicated server cost €15.
