YOU vs Zombies: Playtest Access Now LIVE!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

🚨 THE BUNKER IS OPEN: Playtest LIVE Now!

Greetings, survivors!

The button has been pressed. The blast doors are open. The timeline is officially yours to break.

We are now waving players into the You vs Zombie’s Playtest. If you are reading this, you have a job to do.

🔑 HOW TO JOIN THE CHAOS

If you haven’t already, look for the "Request Access" box on the You Vs Zombies Steam Store page and hit that big green button.

We are accepting waves of testers right now. If you’re in, you’re in.

📝 YOUR MISSION: BREAK IT

This is a SUPER EARLY look at what we are building, which means things may wobble. Spells may misfire. Reality may briefly collapse. When that happens, we need to know. This isn’t a holiday. We haven’t built this tech just to look pretty. We need you to push the Infinity Platform to its absolute limit.

  • Generate the weirdest heroes you can think of

  • See if you can get through 8 story beats to the BIG BAD BOSS

  • Tell us if our humour tickles you - we’re British, our upper lips are stiff and sardonic

🧙 HOW THE PLAYTEST WORKS

You will start with one Hero slot. To unlock more, you’ll need to complete your current Hero’s story.

You can delete a Hero from the select screen to free up space.

If you attempt to create too many Heroes in one day, you may hit a daily limit. (Even wizard ghosts need boundaries.)

If you manage to create something weird or inappropriate, please use the in-game report buttons.

If you create something incredible, chaotic, or deeply concerning in a fun way, share it on social or in Discord. We genuinely can’t wait to see who you summon.

🐛 KNOWN ISSUES & BUGS

No SFX… yet. You’ll hear voices and music, but the full SFX system featuring zombie growls, spell impacts, satisfying chaos etc, is still a few weeks out.

Steam login coming soon. For now, you’ll need to log in via Google to create personalised characters (look out for this appearing in a new pop-up window.)Keyboard and mouse are fully supported whilst controller is partially supported, especially in menus.


🔮 ROADMAP / UPCOMING FEATURES Q2 & Q3 2026

  • TUTORIAL, STORY INTEGRATION - We will be adding more to your hero’s custom story alongside the full YOU vs Zombies narrative.

  • LEVEL UP - Soon you’ll be able to level up mid-run and customise your abilities as your Hero survives.

  • LOOT! Where’s my LOOT? - We’re developing a robust loot system with items, sets, hand and foot gear, bling, and even unique spells you’ll be able to equip across your different Heroes. Apocalypse drip matters.

📣 WE NEED INTEL (FEEDBACK)

If you find a bug, a glitch, or a zombie that’s just a bit too polite, we need to know.

  • Report Bugs: Head to our Discord to log your findings.

  • Show Off: Screenshot your best (or worst) generations and tag us here in the community hub. We want to see what you created.

  • Feed us your truth beans: We massively appreciate you taking the time to playtest this, and welcome you to share your thoughts, comments, impressions, ideas, and more, in this
    incredibly not boring feedback form.

🧟 Good luck out there. Enjoy your many deaths. See you in the future.
