4-player cooperative survival horror returns in Outbreak – 50% off through April 4th on Steam!
Arzt Memorial Hospital has been engulfed by an unknown outbreak. Survive as a team — or join the ranks of the dead! Now with overhauled controls and new scenarios, characters and a unique single-player narrative experience. It’s the best time to battle the undead ranks at 50% off through April 4th. A free single-player demo is available as well.
Outbreak is a new top-down survival horror shooter now available on Steam. Inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Outbreak is a nod to the classic PS2 game featuring limited supplies and random enemy/item placement.
A government-funded cancer research project may have given birth to unspeakable horror. Choose your character:
Mason
* Seasoned police officer
* Increased damage resistance
* Starts with a pistol
Alendra
* Computer scientist and engineer
* Takes more damage
* Starts with a lockpick
Ethan
* Bioscience college student
* Regenerates health faster
* Starts with a healing item
Quies
* Paralegal
* Larger inventory than the others
* Can’t combine healing salves
Stan
* Foreman
* Melee attack bonus
* Firearms do reduced damage
Nora
* Architect
* Barricade construction bonuses
* Starts with unloaded shotgun
Kass
* Detective
* Items are easily located on map
* Immune to poison
Outbreak’s unforgiving difficulty will test your nerves and force you to think on your feet. You’re thrown into an intense and difficult survival situation with limited inventory space for equipment, no pausing (in multiplayer), challenging puzzles … and ONE LIFE.
Be ready to face flaming monstrosities, poisonous undead canines, and more! Fortunately, a wide array of weaponry and additional equipment is scattered throughout the hospital facility: pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, axes, knives, climbing picks, and even grenade launchers. Don’t forget to look for opportunities to combine items in your inventory to get the most out of them — such as mixing healing salves for stronger effects. You can even trade with your teammates to make sure everyone has the most suitable gear.
Multiplayer runs on cloud servers. According to developer Dead Drop Studios, there should be virtually no firewall-related connection issues. (There’s no P2P, so players don’t directly connect to each other.) Furthermore, Outbreak has a region selector to ensure a low ping worldwide. The game can also be played offline in single-player mode.

Outbreak is available with full controller support and works perfectly with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. The game is available on Steam (Windows only).
