What it is

Cannibal Crossing is an action-survival game set in the randomly generated town of Earlsboro. Players scavenge, build a base, fight enemy hordes, and look for a way out while encountering cannibals, beasts, bandits, and other survivors. The town layout changes between runs, requiring players to adapt while searching for supplies, special encounters, and buildings with specialized loot. Play alone or use the co-op Horde Mode with up to three friends. Players can rescue survivors, who can follow them, help upgrade buildings, and unlock as playable characters. There are 10 characters, each with distinct traits, abilities, equipment, and playstyles, plus unlockable classes. Base building can take place at any spot in the world, with structures such as walls and turrets. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, shared/split-screen play, Remote Play Together, and Family Sharing. The game is developed by Blow and Try Again and published by Rocketcat Games; Steam lists Windows as its platform.
