Built · in testing now

Break Their Walls.

Strongholds that fight back. The stronghold rework is built and in testing: ten holders who each fight by a rule of their own, a garrison that shifts its stance and gives away its weak spot, a vault you strip one hook at a time, and one shared gate every night.

  • Purge Scout, holder of the Barricaded ChurchPurge Scout

    Barricaded ChurchNew hunters are shown the weak spot.

  • Red Widow, holder of the Abandoned CinemaRed Widow

    Abandoned CinemaEach stance webs one approach shut.

  • Bone Collector, holder of the Underground BunkerBone Collector

    Underground BunkerEach repel drags the cache deeper.

  • Warden Voss, holder of the Stadium QuarantineWarden Voss

  • Choir Cantor, holder of the Bloodless ChapelChoir Cantor

  • Ash Regent, holder of the Burned CapitolAsh Regent

    Burned CapitolThe court needs three breaks.

  • Grave Leviathan, holder of the Collapsed HarborGrave Leviathan

    Collapsed HarborEach stance holds for two presses.

How a wall comes down.

Read the garrisonDug In, On Watch, Chokepoint or Feeding. Every stance names its weak spot and its braced side. Land the weak spot for a READ; reads in a row build Momentum, and Momentum fattens the vault.
Holders with rulesRed Widow webs one approach shut on every stance. Each of the ten holders fights by a rule of its own, talks back, and keeps count of how often you've broken it.
The vault is openTake one. The rest rots. Flesh, the item your next mission needs, a head start or a sealed relic hang on the hooks, and a breach without a single repel raises the relic a grade.
On their trailEvery mission carries a holder's scent. Fill a trail and their stronghold opens. One hunt runs while two more wait on the shelf.
Found youYour first prey gets the full reveal. After that a find shelves itself and waits in Fight, so the grind never stalls.
Crown TricksCrown a region and it teaches you a trick, from Rat Run to Siegebreaker. Eight in all: equip one and spend it mid-hunt.
Tonight's GateOne gate a night, the same stances in the same order for every zombie. One run. Break it in the mark's presses or fewer to take the mark.
The mark is yoursBeat the mark and a sealed relic drops, and your Gatebreaker count goes on your profile for everyone to read.
Tonight's BreakersA board ranks the whole night's runs, press by press, with your clan's best beside it. A different holder takes the gate each night of the week.

Legendary keepsakes

Ten holders. Ten trophies.

Every holder guards one keepsake: Voss's Floodlight, the Collector's Key, the Scout's Bootprint, the Widow's Veil and six more. Each carries a title and a perk that only works inside strongholds.

Captured from the test build. The rework switches on for everyone in a future update, and details may change before then.

Coming in 1.5 · Blood Glass in Motion & Reanimated

Every payout, on screen.

Undead Forever 1.5 gives the game's biggest moments a body: loot tears out of body bags, Flesh rips loose and pours into your counter, lures spring shut and the Gazette lands like a newsreel. None of it slows the grind. Taps stay live, and Reduce Motion skips to the final frame. Captured from the 1.5 build.

Fresh MeatAsk for new prey and claws rake the old list away while fresh rows swing in on hooks. The juiciest target gets stamped FRESH MEAT.
Body Bag DropLoot arrives in a body bag. Claws rip it open and the rarity decides what spills out; a Mythic stamps its seal.
The GorgeEarned Flesh tears loose from the result and your counter swallows it, landing on the exact total.
Extra! Extra!Each edition of the Graveside Gazette spins onto the screen like a newsreel front page.
Feeding TimeEvery 50 minutes your lures spring shut and the catch pours into your counter. Come back after hours to one big pour.
The SwarmOther zombies' hits land on a world boss with their names, between yours, and the HP bar drains with every one.
Wound MemorySpam a target and you can see it: scars stack on their portrait, their exposed Flesh drains, and they end up flayed.
BloodlineFriends you bite hang off your bloodline. Their rings fill as they clear their First Night, and each turn lands as a seal.
The Cold RoomDeposits ride the rail onto meat hooks. Fresh meat frosts over at 5% a day; overflow thaws at 1%.
The Horde Behind YouYour horde stands behind your portrait, and every new member shambles in to join it.
Scent TrailOn your First Night, bloody footprints walk you to your next bite and wait there until you take it.
A Night Hunt through the lairs of the Purge Squad
The Nest: the Meat Locker, the Blood Font and the Ossuary

Coming in 1.5 · The Outbreak

Hunt the night.

The next update is built and in testing. When your Energy runs out, the night is still yours.

  • Night Hunts. Free hunts through the city that cost no Energy or Frenzy and bring home Bone, Marrow and, now and then, a captain's trophy.
  • The Nest. Spend Bone and Marrow on the Meat Locker (eat Brains for +40 Energy), the Blood Font (drink for +12 Frenzy) and the Ossuary, and mount your trophies on the Trophy Wall.
  • Seven Nights. A gift from the grave every night of your first week, ending with the Risen title and 25 LP.
  • The Graveside Gazette. A daily paper of the city's real headlines.
  • Spread the Outbreak. Your invites become bites. Follow every friend you turn and earn the Carrier, Plague Bearer and Patient Zero titles.
  • Blood Marks. Crimson Moon pass holders earn up to 75 marks a night toward the Crimson Cleaver relic at 1,000.

First Night: the free strike on the Morgue Titan
Choosing an Origin: Hunter, Rotborn or Broodmind

Your first night

Wake under a toe tag.

Every horde starts in the morgue. A guided First Night teaches the whole loop in six short orders, and the night pays out at dawn.

  1. EscapeRun Escape from the Morgue before Warden Voss seals the wing.
  2. Arm yourselfLearn Bite Lunge. Your horde fights with its strongest Action.
  3. First bloodAttack an easy rival. Green is favored, gold is even, red is risky.
  4. Wake the TitanA free strike on the Morgue Titan earns your first Mutation Point.
  5. MutateSpend it on a node beside your Origin.
  6. Set the baitSet a Lure. Lures earn Flesh every Fleshflow, even while you're away.

Know your blood

Six things to spend, and how to get them back.

Every tap costs something. Read the bars at the top of the screen and give each session one job.

Energy

Fuels missions and boss hits. Refills over time, in full when you level up, or with a Market refill.

Frenzy

One Frenzy per attack on the Fight board and the Hit List. Boss hits take a share too.

Health

Lost in fights. Beaten down, you land in the ER, protected from attacks until you heal. The Healer patches you up for Flesh.

Flesh

The currency of the dead. Earn it everywhere; exposed Flesh can be stolen in fights, banked Flesh can't.

Loyalty Points

Earned from daily contracts, weekly Streaks payouts, friend invites and bug bounties, or bought in packs. Spent in the Market.

Skill & Mutation Points

Skill points arrive with every level and go into your stats. Mutation Points come from mission mastery, boss strikes and strongholds.

A Dead Road campaign with its commander and sealed relic
An Epic stronghold assault with Direct, Stalk and Overrun approaches

Missions · The Dead Road · Strongholds

March through a dying city.

36 missions across eight regions, from the Slums at level 1 to the Endless Siege at level 400. Every run pays Flesh and XP and rolls for loot.

  • Mastery and crowns. Repeat a mission to rank its mastery up to 10; every rank pays a Mutation Point. Master a whole region to claim its Bronze, Silver and Gold crowns, each worth +5% Flesh there.
  • Frenzy chains. Sometimes a run frenzies and multiplies its Flesh: x2, then x3, all the way to x5, each step rarer and louder than the last.
  • The Dead Road. Five campaigns, from The Red Web to The Carrion Throne. Six objectives each, a named NPC commander, and a sealed relic you can upgrade along the way.
  • Strongholds. Missions can sniff out a named NPC holed up in an Uncommon to Mythic hideout. Scout it, break its defenses and confront it, then crack the vault for Flesh, Mutation Points and Graft Keys.

The Hit List with bounties on rivals
A battle report showing both hordes

Fight · Hit List · Kill streaks

Every rival is real, or clearly labeled.

The Fight board lists real zombies near your level and NPC prey, always tagged NPC. Green is favored, gold is even, red is risky. One Frenzy per attack.

  • Take their Flesh. A win steals part of your rival's exposed Flesh. Beat someone down and they land in the ER until they heal.
  • The Hit List. Put a Flesh bounty on anyone and whoever kills them collects it. Strike back at whoever hit you; trade blows long enough and they become your Nemesis.
  • Battle reports. Read every fight blow by blow: attack against defense, both hordes' weapons, and what changed hands.

The kill-streak ladder

Chain wins. Climb thirteen tiers.

Keep winning within 20 seconds of your last counted win and the chain grows. Every counted win pays bonus Flesh and XP, up to +100% at UNDEAD FOREVER.

  1. STREAK2+ wins · +5%
  2. RAMPAGE3+ wins · +10%
  3. MASSACRE5+ wins · +15%
  4. CARNAGE7+ wins · +20%
  5. BLOODBATH10+ wins · +25%
  6. SLAUGHTER13+ wins · +30%
  7. BUTCHERY16+ wins · +35%
  8. APOCALYPSE20+ wins · +40%
  9. EXTINCTION25+ wins · +50%
  10. UNDYING30+ wins · +60%
  11. DEATHBRINGER40+ wins · +70%
  12. WORLD EATER50+ wins · +85%
  13. UNDEAD FOREVER75+ wins · +100%

Your best streak of the week ranks on the Streaks board. When the week closes, the top ten with five or more wins are paid in Loyalty Points (50, 30 and 20 for the podium, 10 down to tenth), and the top three are announced on Discord. Fights and kill streaks guide →

World bosses

Bosses that shrug off whole hordes.

World bosses keep their wounds between hits. Everyone who draws blood shares the kill and a loot roll when one falls, the final hit claims a killing-blow bonus, and every takedown builds your Rend: permanent extra damage against that boss.

Morgue Titan

Morgue Titan

A stitched brute chained beneath the city morgue. Every rotter can carve into it, but it hits back hard.

Level 1+
Subway Broodmother

Subway Broodmother

The tunnel hive keeps feeding her fresh limbs. Organized hordes burn her down for richer loot.

Level 5+
Megawarren Colossus

Megawarren Colossus

A city-block corpse mound asleep under downtown. High-level clans race its kill window.

Level 15+
Crimson Butcher

Crimson Butcher

The Crimson Moon season boss. Back every 20 minutes, with richer drops for pass holders.

Origins · Mutations · Horde Loadout · Relics

Build a monster that's yours forever.

Pick an Origin, then climb a 194-node Mutation grid: three branches of 54 nodes, an Apex at each summit, and Cross-Grafts that bridge two branches. You get one free Origin change through level 15.

Hunter

Hard hits

Scent / Ambush: +1 PvP health damage and +5% Flesh stolen. Its branch tops out at the Red Apex.

Rotborn

Endurance

Biomass / Overgrow: +5% lure payout, −5% lure cost and faster health regeneration. Its branch tops out at the Green Apex.

Broodmind

Horde

Command / Rally: +5% boss damage, +5% clan boss points and coordinated horde damage. Its branch tops out at the Purple Apex.

The Horde Loadout with learned Action abilities
The Reliquary with six relic plaques
  • Horde Loadout. Learn Action, Regenerative and Enhancement abilities with Flesh. Every member of your horde fights with your best of each type, so a bigger horde hits harder (and costs more upkeep).
  • Lures. Lures pay Flesh every Fleshflow, every 50 minutes, even while you're offline. Each one you add costs a little more.
  • The Reliquary. Six PvP relics, from the Crimson Cleaver to the Massacre Engine, claimed with fights won, Hit List kills and boss Rend. Each claim has its own reveal, and its bonus never switches off.

The weekly clan battle podium on the Leaders page
The Crest Forge with emblems and trims

Clans · Hordes · Hall of Champions

Raise a clan. Fly its banner.

Your horde is personal: the friends you raise from the dead fight beside you. Your clan is your war party.

  • The weekly clan battle. Missions, fights and boss hits earn your clan points. The podium wins crest trims and the champion's crown, and each week's winners are carved into the Hall of Champions.
  • Rivalry. Beat a member of another clan and 15 weekly points move from their clan to yours (up to 5 times a day per pair).
  • Crests, Armory and Rally. Forge a crest from painted emblems, trims, colours and patterns, spend the War Chest in the Armory, and rally the treasury to heal or refill every clanmate online.
  • Raise your friends. Share your invite link: friends start with a Flesh bonus, and you earn 77 LP for each one who survives their First Night (up to 10 a month).

The Dead City: the districts, the factions that hold them and the weekly Turning
A Siege Night: the horde at the walls, Bone Walls and Hold the Line

The Dead City · Siege Nights

War for the Dead City.

Eight districts, eight undead factions, one weekly Turning. Missions, boss hits and stronghold breaches spread your clan's Infestation all week. Beat the garrison by Monday's Turning and the district is yours.

  • Hold the ground. Your crest flies over every district your clan holds. Its missions pay +10% Flesh, its tribute fills the War Chest, and holders earn CBR and the Hivelord title.
  • Siege Nights. Hold a district and the Hunger comes for it. The city's dead read your clan's strength and send a horde to match.
  • Hold the Line. Raise Bone Walls, set your Lures as traps, hire ghoul packs and spend Frenzy to Hold the Line. Break the siege for CBR, LP and the Wallwarden title, or watch the dead take your district back.
The Flesh Bank with auto-deposit and 5% daily interest
A Dead Exchange stock chart

Flesh Bank · Dead Exchange · Market

Bank it. Trade it. Bleed it.

  • The Flesh Bank. Banked Flesh can't be stolen in normal fights. Deposits cost a 10% fee (15% with auto-deposit). Flesh banked all day earns 5% in the Cold Room (10 million per level, more when you expand it), 1% while it thaws up to three times that, and nothing past it.
  • The Dead Exchange. Eight zombie-economy companies trade around the clock. Prices move every five minutes with city news and every player's orders, some companies pay daily dividends, and a 3% fee to buy and 1% to sell reward patience over quick flips.
  • Daily contracts. Five jobs a day, scaled to your level: run missions, win fights, hit a boss, land a Frenzy and more. 2 LP each, plus 5 LP for finishing all five.
  • The Market. Spend Loyalty Points on Energy and Frenzy refills, Emergency Stitches, Flesh caches, Skill Serum and name changes.
ROTRotgut FungalSpore farms under the old subway. Cheap, wild and hungry.

Before you rise.

Yes. It's free to download and play. Optional purchases are Loyalty Point packs and the Crimson Moon Battle Pass subscription, both through the App Store or Google Play.

Do I need an account?

No. You start as a guest the moment you open the game. Save your horde with an email account (or Game Center on iPhone) from Settings so you can get it back on a new device.

Are the other players real?

Yes. Fights, the Hit List, world bosses, clans, World Chat and profile Walls are shared with real players. Computer-controlled rivals and stronghold targets are always labeled NPC.

Does my progress ever reset?
