Apps

Made for real life

15 Android apps, every one with no ads, ever. Most are in testing on Google Play now, and testing is free, even for the paid apps. Join our testers group, then tap "Become a tester" on any app below.

The Play Store will still show a price; that's normal. Tap it and checkout says "Test card, always approves - you will not be charged". If it asks for a real card, stop and email us: it means your Play Store is on a different Google account than the one in our testers group.

The world has ended and the dead own the streets. Build your survivor, gear up and fight your way across a ruined America, from the smoking towers of the city to the streets of Detroit, alone or with friends.

  • War cars you build yourself. Bolt armour plates onto any side, mount a roof gun, and watch enemy fire shoot the plates back off.
  • Hordes, not handfuls. Zombies roam the intersections and move as a pack, from shambling kids to soldiers.
  • A world you can change. Buildings take damage and the ground can be dug and built on.
  • Pick your hero. A full roster of survivors, each with their own look and gear.

In development. The game was first built in Unity and is now moving to Unreal Engine 5 for better looks and driving; the pictures are work in progress. No release date or price yet, and no ads, ever.
