PITCH

In Survival Days, the world is on the brink of destruction, and you’re racing against time to reach the last safe haven. Scavenge for food, fight off deadly threats, and navigate treacherous landscapes as you struggle to survive the journey. With limited resources and hostile environments, every decision counts. Unique challenges like unpredictable weather, scarce supplies, and deadly encounters ensure no two playthroughs are alike. Can you make it to safety before the world collapses? Survival Days combines intense survival mechanics with an immersive, ever-changing world where danger lurks around every corner.

THEME: OUTPLAY HUNGER

In Survival Days, the theme of survival in a crumbling world is introduced through narrative-driven dialogue and environmental storytelling. Players uncover the planet’s downfall through scattered journals, radio transmissions, and fleeting encounters with other survivors. The theme is reinforced as players face increasingly dire situations, each choice influencing their fate.

The game’s bleak, post-apocalyptic environments—muted color palettes, decaying ruins, and ominous skies—immerse players in a world on the brink of collapse.

Gameplay mechanics focus on scavenging, resource management, and combat, pushing players to make difficult decisions that reflect the harsh realities of survival.

MY WHY

What inspired me was the importance of having access to food. I wanted to create a game that highlights how vital food security is and how it impacts people's daily lives. Many people around the world face hunger or lack access to healthy meals, and I think it’s important to raise awareness about this issue. Through the game, I hope players can better understand the challenges some communities face and feel more motivated to help create solutions. Food is a basic human need, and everyone deserves to have enough of it.
