What it is
Just Survive is a post-apocalyptic survival game from Daybreak Game Company, released for Windows in 2015. Set after a major outbreak, it centers on surviving in a world where people are trying to reclaim control from zombie hordes. Players scavenge for supplies and gather raw materials from trees, rocks, and vehicles, using tools such as axes, pickaxes, and crowbars. Those materials support crafting, while vigilance matters around the remaining undead and other dangers. Players can establish a Stronghold in Badwater Canyon, where scouting locations helps weigh their different advantages. The game also supports multiplayer and MMO play, with cooperation useful for safer travel, reaching contested places, and defending Strongholds. Its setting makes trust a practical concern too: neighbors may compete for what they need. Steam lists Action, Adventure, and Massively Multiplayer genres, as well as Steam Trading Cards. The listed release date is Jan 15, 2015.
