Welcome to The World After Silence

Hey everyone!

This is my first post about The World After Silence, a post-apocalyptic survival game I’m currently developing.

An unknown virus has destroyed the world as we know it. Civilization has collapsed, cities have been abandoned, and survival has become a daily struggle. But some people have managed to adapt and continue living in this new reality.

In this game, you decide what kind of survivor you want to become.

You can build and upgrade your shelter, invite other survivors to live and fight alongside you, create your own settlement, restore the population, and help rebuild the world.

Or you can choose a darker path — rob people, kill your enemies, control other survivors, take prisoners, and eventually conquer rival settlements.

There is no single correct way to survive. Choose your own path.

My main goal is to give players as much freedom as possible. Eventually, you’ll be able to do almost anything you could — or probably shouldn’t — do in real life.

The game is still in an early stage of development, but many of its core systems are already working.

Create Your Own Survivor

Create your character by choosing their:

• gender;

• previous profession;

• body type;

• appearance and physical features.

Your previous profession affects your starting attributes, bonuses, skills, and equipment.

You can develop abilities such as strength, endurance, perception, medicine, mechanics, scavenging, diplomacy, and combat.

Survive in a Harsh and Realistic World

You’ll need to manage your character’s:

• health;

• hunger;

• thirst;

• energy;

• time spent awake.

Exhaustion and a lack of supplies will limit what your character can do. Ignoring their basic needs can result in serious injuries or death.

Explore different locations, search abandoned buildings, scout dangerous areas, and collect:

• food and water;

• medicine;

• crafting materials;

• weapons and ammunition;

• clothing and survival equipment.

Build and Upgrade Your Shelter

Your shelter is your main base and one of the most important parts of the game.

Inside the shelter, you can:

• sleep and recover;

• store resources;

• improve your defenses;

• expand storage;

• build living spaces;

• construct a basement;

• build and upgrade a workbench.

Once the workbench is available, you can begin crafting useful items and backpacks.

Train and Improve Your Character

You can train different skills while staying at your shelter:

• strength;

• cardio and endurance;

• observation;

• first aid;

• mechanics;

• scavenging preparation;

• negotiation;

• combat.

Training takes time and energy. It also increases hunger and thirst, so you’ll need to plan your activities and recovery carefully.

Some training activities require materials or help from another shelter resident.

Meet Other Survivors

Every survivor you encounter is different.

They have their own:

• name;

• appearance;

• clothing and equipment;

• health condition;

• skills;

• trust level.

You can talk to them, share supplies, invite them to your shelter, offer them a permanent place to live, develop a closer relationship, attack them, or simply walk away.

Your actions determine how other people see you and what kind of community you create.

Manage Your Shelter Residents

Survivors living in your shelter need care and resources.

You can:

• give them food and water;

• treat their injuries;

• change their clothing and equipment;

• send them out to search for supplies;

• train with them;

• invite them to stay permanently;

• remove them from the shelter;

• fuck them.

• kill them.

Medical treatment uses bandages, medicine, and first-aid kits from your inventory or shelter storage. Its effectiveness depends on your character’s medical skill.

Clothing, Equipment, and Inventory

Items can be moved between your character, other shelter residents, your personal inventory, and shelter storage.

Characters have separate clothing and equipment slots. Equipment also has durability and can wear out over time.

Backpacks increase carrying capacity, while unwanted items can be discarded.

Combat

During combat, you can:

• attack;

• block incoming hits;

• use different weapons;

• spend ammunition;

• use medical supplies;

• attempt to escape.

After defeating an opponent, you can take their belongings, leave them alive, kill them, or imprison them in your basement.

Prisoners and the Basement

After constructing a basement, you can hold defeated survivors as prisoners.

Prisoners can be:

• given food and water;

• interrogated;

• released;

• killed;

• offered a place in your shelter;

• Fucked.

How you treat them is entirely up to you.

Saves, Languages, and Offline Play

The game includes autosaving and five manual save slots, allowing you to continue your playthrough after closing and reopening it.

The game currently supports:

• Ukrainian;

• English.

The World After Silence runs directly in your browser and does not require a permanent internet connection.

Explore the ruins, gather resources, build your shelter, create a community, and make difficult decisions that determine not only whether you survive, but also what kind of person you become.

This is only the beginning. More mechanics, locations, interactions, items, and survival systems are planned for future updates.

Thank you for following the development of The World After Silence.
