About
Prepare during the day. Survive the night.
Survive the Nights is a hardcore open-world survival game where preparation is everything. Scavenge, craft, fortify, and plan during the day — because when night falls, the infected hunt in numbers, and mistakes are punished.
Play solo or with friends in a brutal post-apocalyptic sandbox where survival is earned through smart decisions, strong fortifications, and cooperation under pressure.
Zombie difficulty comes from numbers, not individual strength. By day they roam slowly — by night they gather into massive hordes drawn to player activity. The longer you survive, the bigger and more dangerous the nights become.

Structures and vehicles are fully fortifiable. Cover windows and add strength to gain the advantage.


Like to be on the move? Take your home on the road. Cook, sleep and store your items in your mobile base.

Settle into your new home by using pegboards, player storage and blueprints to put your stamp on the place. Physically place your items in the world to make your perfect survival hideout. Use traps to get the upper hand. Traps can give you the edge when zombies or raiders arrive.


Cook over an open fire or directly on a stove to manage your calorie and hydration needs. Maintaining your player vitals will increase your overall strength and carrying capacity over time.

Sick of canned food? Head out into the wilderness to hunt for larger animals.

When food stores start to run out, turn to farming for your calorie needs. Protect your crops indoors under light or grow them outside in the warmer months to produce food that will last through winter.

Weapon attachments let you customize your gun and get it just right for your play style.

Every vehicle is repairable. Engine and wheel parts are required to get a vehicle running. Items can be stored in trunks and on truck beds.

Explore the different points of interest to find valuable location-specific loot.

The weather is dynamic including all four seasons along with seasonal vegetation and foliage.

Spend your days preparing to survive the onslaught at night. Zombies are more aggressive and alert when the sun goes down.
Day Objectives: During the day, focus on resource gathering and fortification. Fell trees, craft planks, engage in hunting and trapping. Collect loot, food, and fortify a structure. Ensure doors and containers are locked, fuel generators, and prepare power systems. Keep your health up by lighting fires, crafting bandages, and gearing up for the night.
Night Objectives: At night, prioritize safety and stealth. Team up with friends in a secured structure, favor melee over firearms to stay quiet. Activate generators, power up structures, set traps, and cook meals indoors on wood stoves. The key is to survive until morning.
The mental health system discourages the "Kill On Sight" mentality, promoting alliances for better survival against the zombie threat. While PVP is still a factor, players have ways to correct a negative mental state.
Survival and zombies how you like them! Browse hundreds of scenarios that set the scene for your perfect survival experience. Zombie survival just how you want it.

Powering a structure can provide light to make nighttime activities easier. Some structures also require electricity to power interior and exterior doors.
Full Steam Workshop support with the ability to mod all areas of the game. Mods can be browsed and installed directly ingame.

[h1]Always Online Ruins the Fun[/h1] This one aspect of the game completely ruins the entire experience. Even in single-player the game is sending telemetry back to... somewhere. Where and what that is, who can say? [u]Even if you [b]Opt-Out[/b], you are still required to have an active Internet connection to play.[/u] There is no excuse for this. The issue is compounded if you play online as you can find yourself kicked without warning and lose all your progress to a random zombie that you were next to when you lost control of your character. Because you don't know what data this software is sending, I would strongly recommend staying away from this product.
Fun concept with good potential but the ui needs alot more polishing. It seems exactly the same like 3 years ago.
After many many years of waiting and hoping, this game seems stagnaent. I feel like the dev should have either invested in a publisher for funding, or hired people to help with development. I remember seeing this game through FrankyonPC SO long ago, and game seemed like the best thing since slice bread, but ultimetly fell short. I wanted to hold out as long as I can, but since they added paided objects in a shop menu, and no modding community(or not the right modding tools avalible.) Its just never changing or imporving. Sorry man, I think you need to rethink your road map, or get help with it.
This game is fun and has a great concept in the genre. But it's so F*cking buggy it's like an alpha. This is in no way shape or form a full release and I would stay away. I gave it a try and thought we found a hidden gem. Sadly many things don't work without a terrible bug completely ruining the enjoyment. This is not an early access, it's a version 1.0 release and what's being represented is not great.
Trash game that feels worse than an early alpha. Calling this a 1.0 full release game is embarrasing. Refunded.
Great Zombie game, gets updated regularly, gives community what they want
Game has good potential but there is just too many bugs i enjoy it but its just not playable without having to constantly quit and reload a save to possibly fix an issue which seems to be 50/50. Unacceptable picking items up and placing them in vehicles they will constantly bug out and make it impossible to pick up again once placed, leaving you to only me able to move them around screwing you when you have a truck loaded with supplies. Additionally the vehicles and trailers bug often, when loading an object onto a truck it shouldn't fling it and do barrel rolls. the trailers have a tendency to launch if you collide with something head on then go flying off the vehicle with everything loaded on it. Please fix this theres no way its a difficult fix.
all around good game needs some polishing but not half bad
Please add bandit NPCs for solo players.
Good fun, good bones, could be great!
