# In a world where everything is lost, survival is all that matters. Build, fight, and decide who you trust.
**Return: Unknown**
*A deserted metropolis. Endless possibilities. And you in the middle of it all.*
Step into a survival adventure set in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, inspired by the freedom of large open-world games and the dark atmosphere of a fallen city. After a global virus wiped out civilization, what remains is a living, dangerous world that gives you complete freedom.
During the day, you explore streets, buildings, and towering skyscrapers, gathering resources and building your own path to survival. But when night falls, everything changes.
The infected become more aggressive, moving through the shadows and turning darkness into a deadly threat. The city that belongs to you by day becomes theirs at night.
Survive by managing hunger, thirst, exhaustion, cold, and heat, and even your body weight, which directly affects your gameplay. Every decision matters.
Use vehicles such as cars, boats, planes, helicopters, and even mini-submarines to traverse land, sea, and air. Build anywhere: on the ground, on rooftops, or high up on skyscrapers, or take over existing structures, from small apartments to massive high-rise buildings.
Whether alone or with others, you decide how to survive. Fight, trade, explore, or create your own safe haven in a world that offers no mercy.
Dynamic weather, seasons, and unexpected events like power outages constantly reshape the world and force you to adapt.
Play solo or join others, survive together in co-op or compete on servers with up to 128 players.
