STATE OF DECAY PLAYERS ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE TIMELY AND UNIVERSAL QUESTION: WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

This is Not A Hero’s Journey

State of Decay is a story of environmental transformation, revealing the ingenuity, adaptability, perseverance, and collectivism found within the survivors. Each survivor starts with the same four core skills. Their fifth skill is unique, and this point of difference is what makes them most valuable to their community.

NO ONE SURVIVES ALONE

SURVIVORS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EACH OTHER AND RELY UPON THEIR NEIGHBORS  AND COMMUNITY.

When everything is on the line, State of Decay shows us that when we look out for each other and rely upon our neighbors  and community, regardless of tribal affiliations, we can come together to push back the darkness.

The world of State of Decay is brutal, and choices have enduring consequences, including the permanent death of characters. But despite its dystopian setting, State of Decay is optimistic. The struggle to survive is an expression of hope, belonging, purpose, and love—timeless human ideals.
