About DeadPoly
DeadPoly is a polygon‑styled arcade shooter set during the early stages of a zombie apocalypse. Survival hinges on managing hunger, thirst, and the threat of undead while optional activities such as crafting, farming, and questing add depth.
The title runs on Windows and offers single‑player, online server‑based multiplayer, and online co‑op play. Full controller support, Steam Cloud, achievements, and adjustable difficulty are included.
01 / THE GUIDE
Game Modes
Players can choose between solo play, online server‑based multiplayer, or online co‑op with friends. All modes share the same survival focus, letting each participant explore the world and manage resources.
Multiplayer includes PvP and online PvP options, while co‑op lets groups face the same challenges together without requiring separate game rules.
- Start with co‑op to learn mechanics alongside friends.
- Try PvP after you are comfortable with basic survival.

Character Creation
Before entering the world, you create a visual avatar that represents you. The system provides customization options for appearance only.
The created character does not alter gameplay statistics; it serves as a personal visual identity throughout the survival experience.
- Pick a look you enjoy, as it has no impact on performance.
- Save your design early to avoid re‑creating later.

Base Building & Crafting
Scavenged materials such as wood, stone, and metal can fortify existing structures or be used to construct new bases from scratch. The grid inventory helps organize these resources.
Crafting supports hundreds of items, including gun attachments that let you modify weapons to suit personal preferences.
- Collect sturdy materials first to reinforce early walls.
- Use the inventory grid to keep essential components grouped.

Survival Mechanics
Hunger and thirst gauges must be kept within safe ranges; neglect leads to death. The day/night cycle and weather cycles also affect visibility and exposure.
Hunting, fishing, and farming provide food sources, while a dynamic vaulting system lets you climb most obstacles to reach safe spots.
- Gather water early to avoid thirst penalties.
- Set up a base before nightfall to reduce surprise attacks.

Platform & Controls
DeadPoly runs on Windows and supports full controller input, including DualShock and DualSense devices, alongside keyboard and mouse. Steam Input API integration allows custom bindings.
Features such as Steam Cloud, achievements, adjustable difficulty, and custom volume controls let players tailor the experience without timed‑input requirements.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep saves across machines.
- Adjust difficulty if early runs feel too harsh.
