About this gameFull description from Steam
Survival Log fuses two distinct phases of survival: the desperate scramble to hoard before the outbreak and the relentless challenge of managing your stronghold after. Strategy, resource management, and endurance are the name of the game. A single death gave you a glimpse of the future. The apocalypse is coming in just 10 hours. And this time, you're ready. With disaster still hours away, the clock is ticking. Scavenge for resources, fortify your stronghold, and chart your survival strategy... because when the dead rise in force, there's no room for mistakes. The end is near. Stockpile everything you can. Scour the city—supermarkets, hardware stores, farmers' markets. Leave no corner untouched. Before society collapses, grab everything you'll need to stay alive. Every decision carries weight. Do you spend your precious time and money on food and water, or do you fortify your shelter and secure fuel for the long haul? Choose wisely. Your survival depends on it. Keep a close eye on your supplies with a live inventory system. The Loot Spotter lets you see exactly what you've gathered, identify critical gaps, and plug every hole before the clock runs out. Transform your home into an apocalypse-proof fortress. Scavenge or purchase furniture, appliances, and construction materials. Design your safe house layout from scratch, then roll up your sleeves and install, upgrade, and customize every last detail with your own two hands. As your survival demands grow, so does your safe house. Expand it floor by floor. Living quarters, storage rooms, power generation, and even farming areas... everything meticulously planned and in its place. Every resource you invest before the apocalypse becomes the lifeline that keeps you alive after. Manage your stronghold and become self-sufficient. Grow your own crops and cook proper meals because surviving the apocalypse doesn't mean giving up the good life. Power your base with diesel, manual generators, or solar. Every watt is a resource you can't waste. Manage hunger, stamina, and morale. Survival isn't just about staying alive; it's about staying sane. Confront disaster and face the unknown. Rain, the freezing cold, and blackouts... Every disaster pushes your prep to the limit. Hold the line against endless hordes of zombies. Fortify, set traps, and defend your last refuge. Explore abandoned supermarkets, schools, and the city ruins. Scavenge for rare resources, but stay sharp. Not every threat shambles and groans. Stand together and rewrite the ending. Rescue stranded neighbors, trade with survivors via drone, and build a new community. Choose your past—a worker, a student, or a warehouse clerk. Every identity changes the game. Every failure becomes experience. Reborn with your memories, uncover the disaster's truth.
