Dawn of the Rotten is now live on itch.io, priced at $1.30 with an option to pay more. The game drops players into a world where civilization has collapsed, tasking them with collecting fuel while fighting off slow-moving zombies to reach a shopping mall in a quarantine zone.
Developer ADANKJOINT built the game around old-school zombie behavior and an action-focused FPS loop. The visual style mimics 1980s VHS tape, and the three maps are a motel, an apartment, and the mall itself. Blood, gore, and dismemberment effects are part of the presentation.
