Scavenge, Secure, Survive

Deadwood: The Forgotten Curse is about scavenging for materials, securing by day, and surviving the night.

Scavenge – Search buildings and foliage for materials. Breakdown certain items for resources. Explore areas for amber modifiers.

Secure – Build barricades, traps, landmines, and decoys to help hold down the fort and plan for the night’s attack. Also fortify/repair existing structures during attacks as zombies wear them down.

Survive – Omni-directional top-down shooting mechanics. The deadwood take effort and strategy to kill, so be careful…there’s a lot of them.

Lathe

Explore and uncover the mystery as you play Lathe, a young woodling and avid inventor, through the pleasant town of Knottington where he must protect the woodlings from a swarm of wooden zombies called “Deadwood.” Lathe quickly learns how to craft defenses and turrets to fight against the deadwood as they rise from their sleep.

Roguard

This deadwood infestation cannot be stopped by Lathe alone. Who would a true hero be without his rock solid companion. Roguard, made of solid stone… with the occasional happenings of catching zzzs at the worst of times, is one of true loyalty. A creature double in size with the ability to smash most things under his finger, is but a lovable character with a big heart captured by life’s simple beauty.
