Lost Eidolons developer Ocean Drive Studio has announced God Save Birmingham, a survival game set in a city overrun by zombies. It will launch first in Early Access for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Doom has come to Birmingham, and you are the last soul alive. Survive an undead plague in a painstakingly recreated medieval market town. Manage your needs, master physics-based mechanics, and evade the horde for as long as you can.
God Save Birmingham is a zombie apocalypse survival game set in 14th century Birmingham, England. The Early Access version will focus on a sandbox mode utilizing a small portion of the town. The full town will be available at official release, with a campaign mode coming later to complete the experience.
Key Features
- The End Has Come – A strange plague sweeps the countryside, transforming men into monsters, and cities into slaughterhouses. You are one of the last survivors of Birmingham, alone against the shambling corpses of your former friends and neighbors, with only your wits to protect you.
- Nourish Thy Body – Even after the end of the world, life goes on. Forage for supplies, craft tools and weapons, then set out on the hunt for food, water, and shelter. The clock is always ticking, and the horde is always near.
- Master Medieval Physics – Wriggle your way out of harrowing situations with physics-based mechanics that reward quick wits and skill. Stack furniture to barricade doors, leap low fences to trip your clumsy foes, and sever limbs to reduce the undead to angry, wriggling torsos. Just be careful not to stumble over a bucket while fleeing for your life.
- Take a Bite Out of History – Explore a carefully reconstructed 14th century Birmingham, in all its bucolic, bubonic glory. Stop by the Markets or the Burgage Plots to forage for resources. Raid boarded-up smithies for tools, grab a drink at the nearest tavern, and explore historic architecture at the Church of St. Martin in the Bull Ring.
The Early Access version of the game will contain about one-quarter of the entire town, with the rest coming between the Early Access and full releases.
