Items for every single character equip slot.
More flashlight types, batteries, duct tape, and more!
Basic crafting system
Improved zombie AI and pathing, better zombie appearance
As with every stage, lots and lots of new buildings and regions!
Limited customization on the player (hair, face, eyes) and more, including female character models.
Basic start of hostile and friendly NPC survivors.
Basic weather systems that drastically change gameplay and zombie behavior!
Item delivery system for special (non-pay-to-win) items, for KS backers, early pre-order bonus, and more!
Discounted price of $19.99 USD!
Stage 2: Beta
Everything from Alpha, but even better!
Still DRM-free!
Vehicles! Cars, trucks, boats, and aircraft of all shapes and sizes!
Greatly improved zombie AI and pathing
Greatly improved crafting system!
Greatly improved day-night cycle, and weather systems!

Even more enemies, and not just NPC survivors! The horrors you will find have hardly begun.
Friendly NPCs
As with every stage, lots and lots of new buildings and regions to explore!
Discounted price of $24.99 USD!
