About Fear Tide
After a mysterious outbreak turns most of the population into feral undead, you and your dog take refuge in a hidden bunker.
But supplies are running low.
Venture into infected zones, scavenge what you need, rescue survivors, and make it home alive.
Every expedition is a risk. Everything you bring home could keep someone alive one more day.
Search abandoned streets and buildings for food, medicine, ammunition, materials, and better gear.
The deeper you push, the greater the reward…. and the greater the risk.
Know when to keep searching. Know when to run.
Your dog is more than a companion.
Command them to attack infected enemies, help locate valuable resources, and carry additional supplies.
Fight together. Search together. Make it home together.
Every resource you recover helps sustain your growing community.
Upgrade your bunker, craft new equipment, and prepare for increasingly dangerous expeditions while vital supplies continue to run out.
Search the infected zones for people still alive and bring them back to safety.
Each survivor can unlock new weapons, tools, shops, crafting options, and missions.
The more people you save, the more your bunker can become.
But every survivor is another mouth to feed. Every upgrade costs precious materials. The stronger your bunker grows, the more it demands.
Not every path is open from the start.
Break through barricades, build bridges, unlock bunker doors, and permanently open new routes through previously explored areas.
Ammunition is limited and the horde is relentless.
Choose your fights carefully, improve your loadout, and retreat when the odds turn against you.
Sometimes survival means knowing when not to fight.
Every survivor rescued, weapon upgraded, and resource stockpiled brings you one step closer to what is coming.
The largest undead horde the world has ever seen is approaching.
Prepare for the Tide.
- Survive alongside your dog: Brave the infected zones together, with your dog fighting by your side, sniffing out valuable resources and acting as a Safe Pouch during expeditions.
- Push deeper. Extract alive: Explore infected zones where better rewards come with greater danger, and decide when it is time to cut your losses and return home.
- Keep your bunker alive: Recover food, ammunition, medicine, and materials while your community's supplies continue to disappear.
- Rescue survivors: Bring stranded people back to safety to unlock new missions, equipment, shops, crafting recipes, and capabilities.
- Fight smart: Manage limited ammunition, improve your loadout, and choose carefully between fighting, avoiding, and fleeing the infected.

- Prepare for the Tide: Build up your community and resources before the largest horde the world has ever seen arrives.
