About Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Struggle to survive in a harsh, persistent, procedurally
generated world. Scavenge the remnants of a dead civilization
for food, equipment, or, if you are lucky, a vehicle with a full
tank of gas to get you the hell out of Dodge. Fight to defeat or
escape from a wide variety of powerful monstrosities, from
zombies to giant insects to killer robots and things far
stranger and deadlier, and against the others like yourself,
that want what you have...
As your game begins, you awaken with hazy memories of violence
and terror from when the world suddenly unraveled around
you. Now you need to explore your surroundings, and secure food,
water and safety. After that, who knows? Long term survival will
mean tapping abilities you haven’t used before, learning to
survive in this new environment and developing new skills.
