Zhelter is about surviving a Zombie apocalypse, saving survivors, building shelter. How long do you think you can stay alive in this nightmare?

Welcome to Zombie Apocalypse

Thanks to all backers for 350% funds!

We'll do our best for over your expectation. 

Once again, thanks to all backers.

By unknown causes, the Zombie apocalypse has arrived. They’ve burned cities, and you’ve lost your family, friends.

But, you've been saved by a group – people who have accepted you as a new family member. The world is now filled with these furious Zombie creatures, but your new family is saving people without losing hope.

After the end of world, you built a new civilization and society with these people. It’s not the same as before, but eventually you adapt to a new life with them.

But not for long.

A large scale Zombie horde crushes your shelter. You fight, but it’s not enough.

You’re alone once again.

Do you think you can still find new hope?

Do you think you can still fight, this time alone, against an endless Zombie horde?

The core of Zhelter is 'Intense survival', 'Huge action', 'Shelter', 'Open-world'. You explore ruined cities, fight back Zombies, build your own shelter.

It’s not easy staying alive in a city of Zombies. Gather resources for survival from within the ruins

Companions & Shelter

• Save other survivors in danger and make them companions. Companions will contribute to making a stronger shelter
• Make your shelter more efficient for convenience and to be stronger and attractive.

Farm

Growing plants

Each gameplay will be unique - explore open-world. Try many different ways. It is not the strong one survive, survivor is only the strong.

We're using very experimental pixel-art graphics to present a unique style. We're also trying as much as we can to make this a unique and charming experience for the player.

We are small game studio, whose motto is "Make unforgettable game"

Our previous game 'Trick Art Dungeon' was nominated for awards in several festivals and contests.   

Trick art dungeon

While we don’t have a large crew or budget, but we do have the ability to produce a creative and remarkable in-game experience. We want to present all that in this project - Zhelter.

Zhelter was started March 2019.

The first step was to build a prototype, proving the basics of the game style and art style. The prototype was greatly and positively received at a recent game festival, with actual players very excited about this project. That was motivation enough to continue developing this project. However, we need more time and resources for the 1.0 build stage. We need your help.  

2019 G-Star

You can meet Zhelter at Steam Early Access first. 

We are currently focused to running smoothly on Windows. We're a small team. We want to fully focus on Windows(Steam), instead of multiple platforms at once and being unfocused.

Steam Early Access enables you to sell a game on Steam while it is still being developed and provides context to customers that a product should be considered "unfinished." Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release.

Releasing a game in Early Access helps set context for prospective customers and provides them with information about your plans and goals before a "final" release.

For those of you who do decide to support our project, it would means a lot to us. We want to thank you with these rewards.

* Design patches, stickers, and Zippo lighter designs will be released soon.

* The design of merchandise rewards has not been finalized yet. Please note that it is subject to be changed. 

• March 2020: Beta release (*It was postponed to May 1 because of the corona virus. We`re really sorry)
• June 2020: Steam Early Access Release & Begin Shipping Rewards (*It was postponed to September because of the game polish. We`re really sorry)
• June 2021: Steam 1.0 Release

Beta access will be available to all supporters (privately). We will send “Zhelter” Steam Key and Digital Soundtracks to your email when releases on Steam Early Access (September 2020). Digital Rewards can be claimed only once per one person. Physical Rewards will begin shipping September 1, 2020 (GMT +9). Inside the “Zombie Kit”, “Companion Kit” and “Conqueror Kit” there will be Design Tickets and everyone will be able to closely communicate with our development team.

Why Indiegogo?

This project was developed using our own funding and labor only. Since the start of development for "Zhelter", the more time and effort we put in, the more we are deeply fascinated by this game. For our entire team, this project became an obsession! We believe our hard work has been rewarded as the basis for an amazing game is now set.

However, development costs went way over the budget we initially created. We had secured some loans to keep development going. It is very important to us that we make the game we originally set out to build, without compromising on content or quality for the purposes of saving money. At this point, we have exhausted our loan funding and need some help to keep going…that’s where Indiegogo comes in!

Please help us to keep going by supporting our campaign. You'll soon get an absolutely unforgettable game!

If we can succeed with our Indiegogo fund raising goal, we will be able to utilize ALL of our creative resources fully on “Zhelter” going forward. Through Indiegogo, we want to get the word out on “Zhelter” in the gaming community and secure the funding needed to see it through. We are very confident that this game will be something that will wow the gaming community and provide hours upon hours of fun for all of our backers!

A. Team Salary

• During these final development stages, we want to use the funds to focus our team on “Zhelter” completely. This will ensure the best game we can make and an expedited final development process.
