The Infected: A Survival Horror Sandbox Bites Back

Forget the sanitized media reports. In *The Infected*, the truth behind the “Vambie” outbreak is far more terrifying. This survival crafting game throws you into a sprawling open-world sandbox, where a camping trip gone wrong plunges you into a fight for survival against creatures that blur the line between vampire and zombie.

Manage your hunger, thirst, and even body temperature as you navigate a dynamic world with day/night cycles, changing weather, and distinct seasons.

Crafting is key. Build a sturdy base, hunt for food, cultivate crops, and even mine ores to create tools and weapons. From simple shelters to fortified compounds, your base is your sanctuary, a bulwark against the encroaching darkness. Master the art of cooking, harness the power of electricity, and even tame animals to aid your cause. Explore the vast landscape, discover hidden resources, and uncover the unsettling truth behind the Vambie plague.

The developers, a small but passionate team, are upfront about the game’s early access status. Many planned features are still under development, making *The Infected* a game for players willing to embrace the journey. This isn’t just a survival game; it’s a collaborative effort, inviting players to shape the game’s future through feedback.
