Description
About This Game
RISE OF THE DEAD
The cure is buried. The dead are rising.
You wake up alone inside a remote mountain research facility.
The lights are failing.
The corridors are silent.
The floors covered in blood.
And something is moving in the dark.
A distorted phone call from a first responder named Frank delivers a single objective:
Find the vaccine. Escape before the facility is destroyed.
🧟 ABOUT THE GAME
Rise of the Dead is a story-driven survival horror game built in Unreal Engine 5, blending tense exploration, environmental storytelling, and classic puzzle-based progression.
Set inside a vast research complex carved deep into a remote mountain, you play as a security guard who wakes with no memory of how the outbreak began — only the growing realisation that the personnell are not so alive anymore.
The facility is failing.
The infection is spreading.
And time is running out.
🏔️ A DEAD MOUNTAIN FACILITY
Explore a sprawling, interconnected research complex featuring:
Security offices and surveillance rooms
Medical wards and triage areas
Research laboratories and biocontainment zones
Dormitories, maintenance tunnels, and power stations
An abandoned underground train station — your only escape
Each location tells its own story through bloodstains, destroyed equipment, documents, audio logs, and environmental clues.
📞 A VOICE ON THE LINE
Throughout your journey, you receive phone calls from Frank, a first responder coordinating containment efforts from the facility entrance car park.
His information guides you — but as the facility reveals its secrets, his words begin to raise questions.
Is Frank helping you…
Or using you?
🧬 FIND THE VACCINE
Was the outbreak corporate greed, accidental or military trial?
Uncover classified experiments, failed trials, and unethical research as you descend deeper into the mountain.
The vaccine exists — but it may not be complete.
Your choices determine:
How much of the truth you uncover
What condition the vaccine is in
And what escapes the mountain with you
