Outbreak: Shades of Horror Free Download

BEWARE! Retro survival horror lives!

Outbreak: Shades of Horror is inspired by retro survival horror from the '90s and '00s! The title blends bleeding edge tech and modern gameplay mechanics with archaic concepts from the roots of survival horror, like a restricted inventory, heavy resource management, and crushing difficulty. If you're an old hat, or a lover of the past, you'll find a lot to love in the janky but crushing experience. If that's not your jam, proceed with caution as this nightmare is unforgiving!

Welcome to Cypress Ridge!

Experience the harrowing beginning of a full-scale Zombie Apocalypse as it descends on the Midwestern city of Cypress Ridge. Start from the (relative) safety of the beloved local movie theater, Cypress Reel. Choose between  a central cast of 9 characters, with loads more on the way, and then venture out into a city fundamentally changed with the goal to survive and outlast the mysterious horrors that have suddenly arisen?

Please Pardon our Blood and Dust!

Outbreak: Shades of Horror gives the player many different ways to survive and thrive during Cypress Ridge’s Apocalypse. During our Early Access Sneak Peek, Survivors will be able to access two of the game’s main modes and a host of mini-games via the Cypress Ridge Arcade in both single-player and in online co-op for two to four players over the network.

Find and manage resources, engage in modern gunplay and melee combat, build contraptions and defenses, and much more as you do battle with the scourge of the night.  Quickly switch between third and first-person views at the push of a button to hunt the undead the way you please!

Raid Mode: Navigate twisted environments and hordes of zombies to make it to the evac point. Loot and shoot as you try to endure increasingly difficult challenges the closer you get to freedom.

Invasion Mode: Defend your camp and crew from the incoming Zombie horde! Build up a base, and create and upgrade defenses in order to save the day.

Do You Want To Play a Game? Or maybe some shopping?

Between rounds of running and gunning, there is plenty to do at Cypress Reel. Shop ‘til you drop at Ferret’s Emporium, where you can earn new guns, weapon skins, and millions of different combos of clothing to customize your character just the way you like. If you are in the mood for a different kind of game, Cypress Reel Arcade has a vast array of small-scale mini modes to cleanse your palette before you go back to chasing zombie flesh. Can you survive the Boss Rush gauntlet? Will you be able to skip a creepy rural town in Looming Dread?  Test your reflexes as you escape a flooding subway tunnel in Collapse! While short and sweet, these mini-games will put your skills through drills!  Plus – with adjustable difficulties, there’s always new challenges to face.

Past Meets Present
