The Dead Are Coming
The Dead Are Coming is a game that focuses heavily on survival, post-apocalyptic themes in an RPG setting with minimalist designs reminiscent of classical RPGs like Final Fantasy 7 or Chrono Trigger. The gameplay involves resource management and character development as survivors struggle to survive against the rising undead population while exploring their world for safe havens where they can build communities together. Combat is minimalistic yet deadly due to serious risk, requiring players to think carefully about decisions that affect outcomes in a simple way using role-playing techniques with dice rolls when consequences are at stake and high impact on character growth through meaningful choices made by the player leading up towards an epic storyline of survival against all odds set forth within The Dead Are Coming.
