Important Disclaimer
We are a small team working hard to get The Infected out into the world, but it's important to mention that many features we're planning aren't there yet. So only support this game if you are willing to bear with us and believe in what we're trying to accomplish. This is to say that, at the end of this long road ahead, we will make a game that offers a different take on the survival genre.
We will depend on the community to give us feedback about what's working and what's not. Thank you in advance for giving us a shot!
