Survive in an MMO Zombie Apocalype with ‘Dead Maze’

Published

on

Now while I haven’t been into MMOs for a while, the idea of doing one in the vein of surviving a zombie apocalypse is intriguing. Well, the folks at Atelier 801 seem to have a similar idea with their upcoming free-to-play MMO, Dead Maze, which launches February 13th on Steam.

Dead Maze emphasizes player cooperation during the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse in the Western United States. In order to survive, players will need to work together to explore what’s left of the world after the events of a zombie outbreak, monitor their health and food, scavenge for resources, and craft as many supplies as possible. You and your fellow players will face the typical zombie hordes, but also hunger, thirst, injuries and diseases.

In addition to the typical MMO things like choosing your character archetype, players will also be able to set up and build their own camp, including building and furnishing your own home. This also extends into things like planting seeds and creating vegetable gardens, or breeding cattle to gain access to extra food sources such as milk.

Upon launch, the game will feature an overarching storyline with 22 major quests, spread across multiple locations. More chapters to be added after the official launch. For more info on the game, head on over to its Steam page.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
