'Undying' First Major Early Access Update, Reveals Development Road Map - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 8, 2021 @ 5:57 p.m. PST

Undying is a survival game where players take control of Anling whose goal is to find somewhere safe for her son Cody to live on before she is turned by her infection.

Infected by a zombie bite, Anling's days are numbered. She must now fight to survive, not for herself but her young son, Cody. Ensure Cody's survival in this zombie infested world by protecting him, searching for safety, and teaching him valuable skills, at any cost. Even if it means giving in to her new zombie urges.

Limited resources must be managed in order to slow down Anling’s infection while also making sure both Anling and Cody don’t starve from hunger or thirst. In order to be more efficient and to help Cody in the future, players can pass on skills that Anling has learned over to Cody. These skills can be in combat as well as general survival skill such as cooking and crafting.

A perfect balance of managing your days looking for resources and increasing Cody’s skill set will be needed in order to survive the long journey.

Undying, fresh off its successful Steam Early Access launch, is now knee-deep into content and gameplay updates each week.

Not only did the developers out our free Halloween update last week, but we are putting another update out this week.

What's New in Early Access Development Update #01:

  • The rain collector has now been moved to the backyard! Now it’s easier to fetch water and water your plants.
  • Zombies may now appear in areas your previously thought were safe. So be extra careful.
  • After upgrading your bag’s storage slots, extra storage slots will be added to the storage box and fridge in the house.
  • Your bag can now be sorted with one click!
  • Equipped items can now be moved between cells.
  • You can now quickly move stacked items between bag and storage by holding Ctrl and Left Click on mouse and keyboard or Left Bumper/L1 + A/X on controller.
  • If you are standing over a bunch of loot items you no longer need to pick them up one-by-one.
  • When you have a controller plugged in you can manually switch between controller or KB and mouse UI.

While smaller updates will be coming every week - bug fixes, content adjustments and so forth - every month the Vanimals team will be putting out larger content updates with new features, content and so forth.

Check out the new public roadmap for Early Access below, as well. It highlights the content, features, and more that are coming to the game over the next several months leading to 1.0 launch.


Key Features:

  • Like Mother, Like Son: Cody will learn from the actions his mother, from combat to cooking. Make sure he knows the basics of survival before it’s too late.
  • When life gives you metal parts...: Always be on the look out for materials. You never know what is valuable to a trader, or what useful item you might be able to craft.
  • Ticking time bomb: Anling’s infection is ever looming. Manage your days and make the most of the time you have left. You’ll need to keep pushing on, because time isn’t waiting for you.
  • Cherish the moment: Don’t lose sight of what you are fighting for. Enjoy the small moments...

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Undying is in development for PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4 Android, and iOS, scheduled for 2022.
