Wakefolk - A Zombie Survival Colony Sim

Wishlist Wakefolk on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5433990/Wakefolk

Every dawn is earned.

Wakefolk is a zombie survival colony sim. Guide three survivors through job priorities and building plans: they gather, craft, haul, cook, rest, and fight on their own.

Use daylight to explore, search wrecks, stockpile supplies, and build shelter. Raise walls and barricades, assign a watch, and place tin-can alarms before the dead arrive. Noise can draw attention, while fog of war hides what your colonists have not seen.

Survive ten nights, then keep going for a new record.

What you can do

• Manage personal job queues, tools, food, rest, and energy.

• Build a camp with walls, doors, beds, storage, and campfires.

• Explore together, scavenge wrecks, and prepare torches and healing salves.

• Survive escalating night attacks with melee weapons, watchmen, and alarms.

• Pause to plan, change game speed, and fast-forward while everyone sleeps.

Early test build

Available for Windows 10/11 (64-bit), in English and Turkish. Visuals and balance are still being developed.

Saving is not available yet: closing the game ends the current run. A full ten-night run takes about two hours at normal speed; faster speeds and sleep fast-forward can shorten it.

Follow the in-game tutorial for your first colony. You direct the colony through task lists and building plans; colonists decide how to carry out those tasks.
