The Refuge

LEAVE THE REFUGE. COME BACK ALIVE
The Refuge is a PvE survival game for one to three players. Gear up at your camp, take a contract, push into infested zones to scavenge and complete your objective, then get out before the clock runs out. Everything you carry back goes straight into rebuilding the place that keeps you alive.
You made it through the outbreak because the A.R.C., a militarized organization holding together what's left of humanity, pulled you out of it. The camp is your half of the deal.
CAMP MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
The A.R.C camp evolves through your successes.

Build vital infrastructure: Crafting benches, material recyclers, and conditioning stations.

Expand the refuge: Complete NPC quests to unlock new services such as the Armory or the Vegetable Garden.

The Conditioning Station: Upgrade your physical attributes and skills to become the organization's ultimate asset.

Gear up for war: Buy, find, or craft advanced equipment to face ever-growing threats.

HIGH-STAKES PVE EXTRACTION
Infiltrate hostile zones where time is your greatest enemy.

Evolving Difficulty: While zombies are initially slow, their aggression increases with the danger of your contracts. The more valuable the loot, the faster and deadlier the threat.

The Price of Failure: Each contract has an objective and a time limit. Complete your mission and return alive to ensure the prosperity of the camp. When the time runs out, extraction will be called automatically. If you fail to complete your objective, the camp's morale will suffer, even if you make it back alive. If you fall in combat, you will lose all of your equipment, and the camp's morale will also pay the price.
AN UNPREDICTABLE WORLD

Dynamic Events: No two contracts play out the same way. The conditions are only revealed once the mission begins and you're already outside the walls: they change the weather, alter how zombies behave, and reshuffle the loot you'll find, forcing you to rethink your approach every time you step out.
