"The Withering" is a modern world post apocalyptic survival horror simulator in development.
The story puts players in a world where a terrible viral infection wiped 90% of the population, which in return triggered a series of catastrophic events laying devastating on already dying world.

The gameplay consists of two elements, a turn based management and a real time action survival simulation. During the management gameplay players take control of a survivors camp and manage it's population by assigning different tasks, building up camp defenses, constructing building, managing research / production and diplomacy. Players will also have to make decisions at random encounters and events, making each gameplay experience different. Defend your camp in a turn based tactical combat simulation from hordes of infected or bandit raids. Craft and equip your survivors with different kits to help them on their missions, or form raiding parties to take resources from other survivor camps by force.

At any time, players are able to leave their camp and take control of one of their custom characters in an open world survival. Visit special locations to trade with other players and NPCs, run a rescue mission for a unique reward or simply explore and scavenge for resources that can be used in their camp. Gain experience from completing missions, random in world events or PvP / PvE engagements. Develop your characters with multiple skill trees to better suit your gameplay style.
