The Story

The outbreak began weeks ago. The world you knew is gone, replaced by the quiet dread of a residential area under quarantine. The army's orders were simple: stay inside your homes. They promised supplies. They promised rescue. They promised safe zones.

That was weeks ago.

Your story begins inside the home you share with your wife, Mary, and your young daughter, Chloe. It's been weeks since the last supply drop. The silence from the outside world is absolute. and the food has just run out.

What will you do? Will you break quarantine and risk the dangers of the dead for a scrap of hope? Or will you wait for a rescue that may never come? Your choices start now.

But be warned: In this new world, you will soon learn that the monsters are not just the dead.

Your Choices Have Weight

A narrative adventure that puts decision-making at its very core. This is not a story that happens to you. It's a story that is carved by you.

Every choice, from a line of dialogue in a tense standoff to a life-or-death action in a moment of panic, creates a new path.

The narrative is tailored to your actions, branching in significant ways that directly reflect your successes, your failures, your morality, and your desperation.

There are no easy answers and no "perfect" playthroughs, only the consequences of your decisions.

Features

Among the Dead: Prologue is a mature, branching narrative game similar to CRPGs like Disco Elysium or TellTale's The Walking Dead series.

It is a dark, character-driven story where your choices lead to different outcomes.

- Tense, Psychological Horror: The true horror lies not in the infected outside, but in the desperate actions of living, breathing people pushed to the absolute edge.

- Top-Down Adventure: Explore claustrophobic, atmospheric environments from a classic top-down perspective that emphasizes your vulnerability.

- Failure is Part of the Story: In this game, death is not a "Game Over." It is a choice, an outcome that branches the narrative in its own grim direction. The story adapts to your failures, forcing you to live with them.
