1000 Zombies vs ONE Machine Gun
- More Shooter - 3 March 2026
From the very beginning, Zombie Ship has been a dark, heavy horror experience, thick atmosphere, tension you can almost taste, and a story that keeps tightening the grip. That doesn’t change. But…We’ve decided to bring more momentum into the fight. More weight. More payoff when you pull the trigger. What are we expanding?Developing shooter mechanics as a full-fledged part of the gameplayMore intense encounters. More action without losing the horror atmosphereAn improved shooting systemMore weapons We’re not turning the game into a pure shooter. That’s not the point.We want combat to be just as gripping as exploration and story. When things go loud, they should feel loud. When it gets violent, it should feel earned.Zombie Ship remains dark, unsettling, and tense, but when the moment comes to fight…You’ll feel the power.Let us know in the comments which shooter elements matter most to you.

- What Drives Zombie Ship? Our Inspirations & Vision - 1 June 2025
Zombie Ship is more than just classic survival horror - we want to share what truly fuels the heart of our game. Our biggest inspiration? The gritty, high-contrast noir atmosphere of Sin City. We’ve blended this with moody science fiction, a fascination with maritime mysteries, and real-life shipwreck stories. The result is a unique mix of horror, suspense, and style that we hope you’ll feel from the very first moment you step aboard. To capture that authentic noir comic book-inspired vibe, we brought in a Hollywood voice legend whose narration style echoes Sin City’s iconic tone. (You might recognize him from some of your favorite games and movies!) Above is an early concept sketch that helped shape the look and feel of Zombie Ship. Curious about our creative process, inspirations, or design choices? Ask away in the comments or join the Q&A thread - we’re excited to chat with you!

Plans may change if the ship decides otherwise. Stay tuned.
- Welcome to the Ship of No Return - 23 May 2025
We’re Deep Flame, and this is Zombie Ship - a sci-fi survival horror set adrift in the void, where the dead walk and the ship itself hungers for more than just souls. Right now, we’re buried deep in the guts of development: forging core gameplay, sketching out shadow-drenched corridors, and pushing our combat systems to the breaking point. Every deck creaks with secrets. Every bulkhead watches. The ship has its own agenda - and it doesn’t care who survives. We’ll use this space to show you the real story: raw progress, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and unfiltered updates from the heart of the storm. If you want to know what happens next - if you’re ready to face the dark - add Zombie Ship to your wishlist and stay close.
