Steam Store description

Outbreak: Shades of Horror supports cross-platform 4-player online cooperative play. 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…
